VMware and Chef tools

Chef and VMware are a natural pairing and there are several tools available to enhance the integration.

Knife is a command-line tool that provides an interface between a local chef-repo and the Chef server and allows you to manipulate objects on the Chef server. Knife plugin allows your computer to talk to a 3rd party systems like vSphere or vRA. A plugin can create a VM in vSphere and then bootstrap it with Chef, for example, or it can expose your vRa catalog to your workstation so you don't need to use a GUI.

The following are the main interfaces with VMware and Chef our "knife" plugins.

Notifications from Resources "Bubble Up"

Release in Chef 12.9.41 via PR #4741 core chef now has a feature which has been available in Poise for awhile, which is that notifications from within resources will now notify resources in outer run contexts. This means you can write a recipe with a service resource and send a notification to it from a resource that you write.

Notifications will bubble up from arbitrarily nested resources, so users that write resources that wrap resources which wrap your resource will still find the service resource in your default recipe.

At the same time the resources collection #find() and #lookup methods and the more commonly-used DSL method resources("service[ntpd]") has been changed to also match
