knife-azure 1.7.0 release notes:

In this release, few options have been removed since their support has been removed from the azure-chef-extension. The options are: --auto-update-client, --uninstall-chef-client and --delete-chef-extension-config. They were earlier supported with cloud-api bootstrap protocol which uses azure-chef-extension for installing chef-client.

New options introduced:
--chef-service-interval, which lets the user specify the frequency at which chef-client service should run. This option is available for both ASM and ARM commands. For ASM, it’s supported with cloud-api bootstrap protocol.

--extended-logs shows chef convergence logs in detail. This option is available for both ASM and ARM commands. For ASM, it’s supported with cloud-api bootstrap protocol.

Please file bugs or feature requests against the KNIFE_AZURE repository.
More information on the contribution process for Chef projects can be found in the Chef Contributions document.
