    This temporary workaround is helpful, when test-kitchen is unable to connect to centos vm box via ssh with following error messages:
Waiting for SSH service on 127.0.0.1:2222, retrying in 3 seconds
Waiting for SSH service on 127.0.0.1:2222, retrying in 3 seconds
Waiting for SSH service on 127.0.0.1:2222, retrying in 3 seconds

For kitchen create to work properly, one should create Vagrantfile.rb (extension is mandatory here) anywhere, and specify the path to this file in .kitchen.yml. The only content of this custom Vagrantfile is insert_key setting, because it's not being parsed properly by test-kitchen, when provided in .kitchen.yml.
