Description

The Set-AzureVMChefExtension cmdlet adds the Chef extension to the virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1: Add a Chef extension to a Windows virtual machine

PS C:\> Set-AzureRmVMChefExtension -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

PS C:\> Set-AzureRmVMChefExtension -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

PS C:\> Set-AzureRmVMChefExtension -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.
