Ohai Chefs. We’ve release knife-windows 0.5.14 – you can gem install it
today on your knife workstation. Improvements include support for Windows
Server 2012 R2 bootstrap, fixes for blocking issues in ssh bootstrap of
Windows nodes, nested attributes for knife winrm, closer parity with knife
ssh command-line options, and improved retry / robustness / instrumentation
of Windows bootstrap.
We thank all of our contributors for their improvements to knife-windows
and therefore Chef. Additionally, we’d like to thank Jeppe Nejsum Madsen
for identifying the ssh-related blockers in this release, and for improving
all of our lives on Windows by contributing the fixes. Everyone, thank you!
