| ## Notes on Azure Windows VM Creation | |
| We want to be able to spin up from scripts Windows images in Azure with Chef fully provisioned and working. | |
| ### Requirements | |
| - chef workstation and hosted/enterprise chef account | |
| - [Azure Command-Line Tools](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/) for your os | |
| - [knife azure plugin](http://docs.opscode.com/plugin_knife_azure.html) on your chef workstation | |
| ### Knife Azure A Windows Server, Right? |
| ## use this for your metadata.rb | |
| # for setup info -- see this https://github.com/chef-partners/azure-cookbook | |
| depends 'microsoft_azure' | |
| depends 'iis' | |
| depends '7-zip' | |

| Quick Spin up for Chef | |
| 1) sign up for hosted chef | |
| https://preview.opscode.com/signup | |
| This gives you 5 free nodes. Follow instructions they give you to get chef workstation installed/working. | |
| 2) download and install virtualbox - http://virtualbox.org |
| # -*- mode: ruby -*- | |
| # vi: set ft=ruby : | |
| # Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing! | |
| VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2" | |
| # set this variable and off you go | |
| orgName='YOUR_CHEF_HOSTED_ORG_NAME_HERE' | |
| Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config| |
| # -*- mode: ruby -*- | |
| # vi: set ft=ruby : | |
| Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| | |
| config.vm.box = "centos6.4" | |
| # Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of. | |
| config.vm.define "master", primary: true do |box| | |
| box.vm.hostname = "salt" | |
| box.vm.network "public_network" | |
| box.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.56.160" |
adding a variable into the object
Here's now we dynamically add that variable/accessor on an already created object:
def tagList(item_list)
item_list.each do |item|
item.class.module_eval { attr_accessor :source_type}
item.source_type = some_source_type_A
done
itemlist
