Hi everyone,
I’m attempting to run providers from the aws cookbook in Ubuntu 12.04 on an AWS
box. I’m hitting a wall where it seems like the access key and secret access
key are not properly passed down to the Right AWS underlying library, even if I
hardcode them in my calling recipe. Here’s an example of the call, with the
keys replaced for my protection:
include_recipe “aws”
aws_ebs_volume “test-drive” do
aws_access_key = “MYACCESSKEY” #aws_bag[‘aws_access_key’]
aws_secret_access_key = “mySecretAccessKey” #aws_bag[‘aws_secret_key’]
size 25
availability_zone "us-east-1"
device "/dev/xvdb"
action [:create, :attach]
end
Running this in a recipe yields:

aws_ebs_volume[test-drive] (appinions::ebs-raid-10 line 22) had an error:

Is it possible that the underlying right_aws gem has changed somehow, or am I
just doing it wrong?
Thanks,

I just noticed the extraneous equals signs in my call and smacked
myself in the head. Nevermind! 
Thanks,
Michael
