[chef] Knife-azure 1.1.4 Release Announcement

[Adam Edwards < >]

Ohai Azure Chefs. We’ve released knife-azure 1.1.4 – you can gem install it today. This release includes fixes for virtual resource leaks, reliability of VM readiness for Windows bootstrapping, and adds support for virtual networks and availability sets.

 

A huge thank you to our bug reporters and contributors. In addition, I’d like to thank Brian Whipple, who made multiple contributions for this release in the areas of resource cleanup, VM readiness detection, and virtual network support and moved the gem forward to a new API version.
