[chef] Re: iptables & firewall cookbooks status

[Michael Hart < >]

There is also the simple_iptables cookbook which in spite of the name allows for fairly complex rulesets, and is under active development and usage.

So I did a bit of work on the iptables cookbook recently. I don't think there are plans at this point to replace the iptables cookbook with the firewall cookbook.

Hello!

I want to use Chef to configure firewall rules on CentOS 6.5

I found the iptables cookbook but it states that it may be deprecated in favor of the firewall cookbook. However, there is recent work still being done on the iptables cookbook. The firewall cookbook uses ufw and thus only supports Debian & Ubuntu.

One of the tickets the iptables cookbook references is COOK-688 but there has been no activity for 3 years.

What should I be using to manage firewall rules with chef on CentOS?

Thanks!
