We are delighted to announce the availability of version 22.4.861 of Chef Workstation.

Improvements

  • train-winrm added the option to allow SSL connection with certificates. In this case, the password is not required.
  • chef env now runs faster on all OSes, especially on Windows.
  • knife supermarket commands are now additionally available to execute as chef supermarket. This is a preview feature.

Chef Infra Client 17.10.0

Updated Chef Infra Client from 17.9.52 to 17.10.0. See the Chef Infra Client release notes for a complete list of new features and updates.

Test Kitchen Updates

  • kitchen-vcenter now supports adding a new network interface to the VM being cloned.
  • kitchen-vcenter now works on Windows platforms.
  • kitchen-azurerm introduces a new parameter store_deployment_credentials_in_state that defaults to true. Thanks @jasonwbarnett!

Chef InSpec 4.56.19

Updated Chef InSpec 4.52.9 to 4.56.19. See the Chef InSpec release notes for a complete list of new features and updates.

Bug Fixes

  • The parameter default_chef_server_http_client is now set when used with CookbookOmnifetch. Thanks @karmix!
  • kitchen-azurerm has temporarily disabled support for specifying a VM availability zone. This allows kitchen create to run successfully when the availability zone is not configured.
