Hello!
I want to use Chef to configure firewall rules on CentOS 6.5
I found the iptables https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/iptables
cookbook but it states that it may be deprecated in favor of the firewall
https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/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
https://tickets.opscode.com/browse/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!
Greg
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.

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.

Thanks for the additional info and suggestion of simple_iptables.
cwebber - If it's sticking around should the readme be updated then? I was
hesitant to start using something that had a deprecation warning in the
second sentence of the description.

Michael,
Yeah, I should update that README. Thanks for pointing it out. I will try and get to that this week.
