[chef] knife-ec2 0.8.0 release announcement

[Adam Edwards < >]

Ohai Chefs. We’ve released knife-ec2 0.8.0, now available for gem install on your workstation. This release includes improvements around connectivity options for the bootstrap process, particularly for VPC instances.

 

THANK YOU! to all of our contributors for your work on this release, and also to everyone who took the time to report defects. We’d like to recognize Gabriel Rosendorf who contributed the –associate-public-ip option to simplify VPC bootstrap scenarios; VPC is getting even greater attention from users these days, so the fix is a timely one.

 

For anyone who would like to submit contributions like these, please visit https://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/How+to+Contribute to understand the requirements and process around contribution.
