Description
The Set-AzVMChefExtension cmdlet adds the Chef extension to the virtual machine.
Examples
Example 1: Add a Chef extension to a Windows virtual machine
Set-AzVMChefExtension -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup001" -VMName "WindowsVM001" -ValidationPem "C:\my-org-validator.pem" -ClientRb "C:\client.rb" -RunList "Apache" -Daemon "service" -SecretFile "C:\my_encrypted_data_bag_secret" -Windows
This command adds a Chef extension to a Windows virtual machine named WindowsVM001.
When the virtual machine starts, Chef bootstraps the virtual machine to run Apache.
Example 2: Add a Chef extension to a Linux virtual machine
Set-AzVMChefExtension -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup002" -VMName "LinuxVM001" -ValidationPem "C:\my-org-validator.pem" -ClientRb "C:\client.rb" -RunList "Apache" -Secret "my_secret" -Linux
This command adds a Chef extension to a Linux virtual machine named LinuxVM001.
When the virtual machine starts, Chef bootstraps the virtual machine to run Apache.
Example 3: Add a Chef extension to a Windows virtual machine with bootstrap options
Set-AzVMChefExtension -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup003" -VMName "WindowsVM002" -ValidationPem C:\my-org-validator.pem -ClientRb C:\client.rb -BootstrapOptions '{"chef_node_name":"your_node_name","chef_server_url":"https://api.opscode.com/organizations/some-org", "validation_client_name":"some-org-validator"}' -RunList "Apache" -Windows
This command adds the Chef extension to a Windows virtual machine named WindowsVM002.
When the virtual machine starts, Chef bootstraps the virtual machine to run Apache.
After bootstrapping, the virtual machine refers to the BootstrapOptions specified in JSON format.
