dsc_contrib
This cookbook exists to augment the integration of Chef and Windows PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC).
Back-compat for reboot_action
Chef 12.6 introduces a new property to the dsc_resource resource. When the API that is used by dsc_resource to enforce a desired state (the set
method), the API returns a boolean noting if the DSC resource requested a reboot to continue.
This request is separate from any other mechanism that is used by components of the Windows operating system to indicate a reboot is needed (but may be in conjunction with one or more of them).
When this API returns that a reboot is requested, the reboot_action
property is used to dynamically create a reboot resource. Valid arguments for reboot_action
(at this time) are :reboot_now
and :request_reboot
. These are the same actions as the reboot resource takes.
This allows you to control reboot requests from DSC in a Chef-friendly fashion.
This cookbook adds reboot_action
to Chef 12.4.x and 12.5.x.
Helpers
cim_instance and cim_instance_array
This cookbook adds cim_instance
and cim_instance_array
helpers to the dsc_resource
resource. This helps support embedded CIM instances for DSC resources that require them.
Both cim_instance
and cim_instance_array
have the first parameter as the cim instance type and the remaining parameter make up a hash table of the properties to be converted into a CIM instance.
The difference between the helper methods is some resources expect a single CIM instance and some expect an array. PowerShell will not cast it a single instance into an array, so we have to specify that.
Resources
local_configuration_manager
This resource will configure some of the basic LCM settings for use with Chef. There is currenlty only one action - :enable
-
action_after_reboot
- defaults to 'StopConfiguration' - `certificate_id' - default to $null
-
