Kapil, Windows Server 2012 R2 is supported. I’ve filed this ticket to make sure the platform support is stated publicly to avoid the confusion – our apologies: https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-5109.
You can also see explicit references and commits that were made in Chef tooling to support Windows Server 2012 R2:

Subject: [chef] Chef Client for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1
Hi All,
I wonder what is the official support statement for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1? I have been running chef-client (v11.8.2 for Windows Server 2012) on my workstation machine which is Windows Server 2012 R2 and so far I have not seen any issues. I would like to setup a laptop, which runs Windows 8.1, as my workstation.
Any idea?
Thanks
-Kapil
