[chef] Re: [Template] - variables vs direct attribute access

[Joshua Timberman < >]

This topic came up in the #chef irc channel the other day. I said some words. Initial question here:

https://botbot.me/freenode/chef/2014-10-27/?msg=24305421&page=6

Conversation is mixed with some other threads a bit, but ends after about 30 minutes.

Hope this helps

Ohai chefs!

I just having a talk with a team member about why or why not use "variables" with lazy or not on template resources.

I dont know what is the right way or the "bad practice" way of doing this. Because if you can access attributes directly inside the template, and attributes are compiled an resolved on compile time. ¿Why are you going to want to use variables params on templates?

Could be that varibles were just another fail point on the chain, right?

Thanks a lot!!!
