[chef-dev] Chef Provisioning Releases

[Tyler Ball < >]

Greetings!

I’m about to release chef-provisioning version 1.2.0 with the following changelog:

• Updating for newly introduced Socketless mode.  If the local chef-zero url is `chefzero://...` then we replace it with `http://...` on the target VM #337
• Bumped winrm dependency to 1.3.0 #332

I will also release chef-provisioning-aws 1.2.0 with the following changelog:

• Security groups can be referenced by group-name, don't need a data bag entry (#194)
• Added support for tags across almost all resources.  See the README for examples (#190)
• Updated `aws_route_table` with the ability to ignore routes with regex matching.  This supports AWS performing automatic route switching for HA purposes without chef-provisioning interfering with that logic. (#172)
• Updated `aws_route_table` to propogate routes from provided virtual gateways.  See the comments in the resource for specifics.  (#151)
• Updated the `docs/examples/ref_*` examples to execute correctly and fixed broken integration tests

Thanks to everyone for their contributions!

A final NOTE: these gems will not work with the current version of the ChefDK.  If you `chef gem install chef-provisioning -v 1.2.0` then you’re gonna have a bad time.  There is a conflict between chef-provisioning 1.2 and knife-windows 0.8.x where they want different versions of winrm.  This will be resolved with the next ChefDK release, which will include chef-provisioning 1.2, knife-windows 1.0 and winrm 1.3.  To take advantage of the new gems you can use a Gemfile in your cookbook and `bundle exec` your runs, or you can wait until the next ChefDK release is out.

Thanks everyone!
