Chef Release Announcements

We are delighted to announce the availability of version 22.2.802 of Chef Workstation.

New Features

New Generators for Compliance Phase

We introduced support for Compliance Phase in the chef generate command. You can now create an InSpec profile, an input file, or a waiver file using the chef generate profile, chef generate input, or chef generate waiver commands. These files are created in the compliance subfolder within the cookbook folder of your repo.

Kitchen.ci Drivers Documentation

Updated the documentation for test-kitchen plugins in the kitchen.ci website. Users no longer need to look up driver documentation for separate plugins in GitHub.
