[<CommonParameters>] 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-AzureVMChefExtension -VM $VM -ValidationPem "C:\\myorg-validator.pem" -ClientRb "C:\\client.rb" -RunList "Apache" -Windows;This command adds a Chef extension to a Windows virtual machine. When the virtual machine comes up, it is bootstrapped with Chef and runs Apache on it.
Example 2: Add a Chef extension to a Windows virtual machine with bootstrapping
PS C:\> Set-AzureVMChefExtension -VM $VM -ValidationPem "C:\\myorg-validator.pem" -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. When the virtual machine launches, it is bootstrapped with Chef and runs Apache on it. After bootstrapping, the virtual machine refers to the BootstrapOptions specified in JSON format.
Example 3: Add a Chef extension to a Windows virtual machine and install Apache and GIT
PS C:\> Set-AzureVMChefExtension -VM $VM -ValidationPem "C:\\myorg-validator.pem" -ChefServerUrl "http://ipaddress:port" -ValidationClientName "MyOrg-Validator" -RunList "apache, git" -Windows;This command adds the Chef extension to a Windows virtual machine. When the virtual machine launches, it is bootstrapped with Chef and have Apache and GIT installed. If you do not provide the client.rb, you need to provide the Chef server URL and validation client name.
Example 4: Add a Chef extension to a Linux virtual machine
PS C:\> Set-AzureVMChefExtension -VM $VM -ValidationPem "C:\\myorg-validator.pem" -ChefServerUrl "http://ipaddress:port" -OrganizationName "MyOrg" -Linux;This command adds the Chef extension to a Linux virtual machine. When the virtual machine launches, it is bootstrapped with Chef. If you do not provide the client.rb, you need to provide the Chef server URL and organization.
