add option to associate public ip with instance

[ghost]

Needed for instances running in an internet-facing subnet in order for them to be accessible without SSH forwarding.

This is just what I needed, thanks!

Looking great! @tabolario think you could add a section with a few words in the README? Thanks!

[rayrod2030]

I could really use this feature in master. :)

+1 can this get pulled in please.

What's the status on this? Is it or #56 going to be in a release soon? VPC is now the default for AWS and not having a public IP is making it hard!

Thanks

@fnichol Ah sorry I need to turn my GH email notifications back on for PR comments 😄 I'll get something added to the README today so this can get merged.

[ghost]

I believe some more informative README docs to supplement the ones I added are coming soon to this PR courtesy of @benesch and then this should be good to go!

Additionally, this now sets associate_public_ip to true automatically if subnet_id is defined, so most of the time you won't even need to specify the option!

[benesch]

@tabolario updated and rebased my documentation on the tip of your PR. Should be ready to go!

[ghost]

@benesch Thank you kindly!

@fnichol I dare say this is good to go!

[ghost]

Any update on this one?

[ghost]

Reason I ask is I presently need this functionality when using test-kitchen with Chef DK and I'd prefer to be able to use kitchen-ec2 from RubyGems instead of packaging my branch 😄

[benesch]

seconded! @sethvargo?
