Recipes

default.rb

The default recipe installs the azure RubyGem, which this cookbook
requires in order to work with the Azure API. Make sure that the
microsoft_azure recipe is in the node or role run_list before any
resources from this cookbook are used.

"run_list": [
  "recipe[msazure_expanded]"
]

The gem_package is created as a Ruby Object and thus installed
during the Compile Phase of the Chef run.
