[chef] Re: 403 "Forbidden" when uploading cookbooks with large files

[Stephen Delano < >]

How long is the cookbook upload taking? The upload URLs for each file are pre-signed with an expiry time, usually set at 15 mins. With that large file, you may be exceeding that time.

Have you tried uploading just that cookbook?

Also, you might want to think about storing that file somewhere else. It's a bad practice to store large artifacts in your cookbooks. Is your cookbook in source control? What happens when that artifact changes? You'll run into repo bloat pretty quickly that way.
