[chef] Re: Physical vs. VMware guests in recipe

I did this in the past with a small helper methods in a library. 

That wraps the same logic but can be a bit easier to follow in your recipes.

xen specific but easy to update to your needs.

We're not about to differentiate physical nodes from VMs as role
definitions, so my logic has gone into a recipe that runs everywhere,
but does nothing on physical hosts.

Is the following a sane way to do that? It's working, but
that doesn't mean it's the ideal method.

# recipes/default.rb
return if node['virtualization'].nil?
return if node['virtualization']['system'] != 'vmware'
return if node['virtualization']['role'] != 'guest'
# actual code here for VMs that are guests...
