Hello Kitchen Users!!
Kitchen recently introduced driver caching mechanisms that can be used by provisioners to cache downloads
and other files between provisions. For people who use the kitchen-vagrant driver to run Chef, we've introduced
local caching of the chef-client packages. This change cuts as much as 3 minutes per VM from the typical Kitchen run!
In Kitchen version 1.14.0, Kitchen will automatically cache downloaded chef-client packages for use between provisions.
By using the new cache directory, the kitchen-vagrant driver will
automatically share those client packages to the guest VM, meaning that you no longer have to wait for the client to
download on every guest provision.
