PowerShell Cmdlets

If Windows PowerShell is installed on the workstation, along with the Azure Chef Extension, the Get-AzureVMChefExtension and Set-AzureVMChefExtension extensions may be used to manage Chef running on virtual machines in Microsoft Azure.

Get-AzureVMChefExtension

Use the Get-AzureVMChefExtension cmdlet to get the details for the Azure Chef Extension that is running on the named virtual machine.

Syntax

This cmdlet has the following syntax:

Get-AzureVMChefExtension -VM <string>

Example

The following examples show how to use the Get-AzureVMChefExtension cmdlet:

Get details for a virtual machine
Get-AzureVM -ServiceName cloudservice1 -Name azurevm1 | Get-AzureVMExtension

Set-AzureVMChefExtension

Use the Set-AzureVMChefExtension cmdlet to enable Chef on any virtual machine running on Microsoft Azure.

Syntax

This cmdlet has the following syntax.

For Windows:

Set-AzureVMChefExtension -ValidationPem <String> -VM <IPersistentVM> -Windows [-ChefServerUrl <String> ] [-ClientRb <String> ] [-OrganizationName <String> ] [-RunList <String> ] [-ValidationClientName <String> ] [-Version <String> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

For Linux:

Set-AzureVMChefExtension -Linux -ValidationPem <String> -VM <IPersistentVM> [-ChefServerUrl <String> ] [-ClientRb <String> ] [-OrganizationName <String> ] [-RunList <String> ] [-ValidationClientName <String> ] [-Version <String> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Options

This cmdlet has the following options:

-AutoUpdateChefClient

Automatically update . Set to true to automatically update the version of the Azure Chef Extension when the virtual machine is restarted. For example, if this option is enabled, a virtual machine that has version 1205.12.2.0 will be updated automatically to 1205.12.2.1 when it is published.

-BootstrapOptions <string>

A JSON string that is added to the first run of a Chef Infra Client.

For example:

-BootstrapOptions '{"chef_node_name":"test_node"}'

Supported options: "chef_node_name", "chef_server_url" (required), "environment", "secret", and "validation_client_name" (required).

-ChefServerUrl <string>

The URL for the Chef Infra Server.

-ClientRb <string>

The path to the client.rb file.

-DeleteChefConfig

-RunList <string>

A comma-separated list of roles and/or recipes to be applied.

-ValidationClientName <string>

The name of the chef-validator key Chef Infra Client uses to access the Chef Infra Server during the initial Chef Infra Client run.

-ValidationPem <string>

The location of the file that contains the key used when a Chef Infra Client is registered with a Chef Infra Server. A validation key is signed using the validation_client_name for authentication. Default value: /etc/chef/validation.pem.

-Version <string>

Specify the version number for the Azure Chef Extension extension. Default is to use the latest extension’s version number.

-Windows

Sets the Azure Chef Extension to run Windows.
