Policyfiles and chef-apply/chef-run #145

Open kmf opened 4 years ago

kmf commented 4 years ago

Describe the Enhancement:

Running chef-run somehost.com my_policyfile.rb

Describe the Need:

Using a wrapper cookbook is cumbersome in adhoc situations.

Current Alternative

chef cookbook generate install_datadog
add dependancy datadog to install_datadog/metadata.rb
```
depends 'datadog'
```
add install code to install_datadog/recipes/default.rb
```
include_recipe 'datadog::dd-agent'
```

add attributes to install_datadog/attributes/default.rb

default['datadog']['api_key'] = '8uLllbAPTnxa39z42M'
default['datadog']['application_key'] = 'WlmB9RYwGzzhLHKn81'
default['datadog']['enable_process_agent'] = true

ensure you are in the right path
chef-run somehost.com install_datadog or chef-apply somehost.com install_datadog

With the Beauty of a Policyfile

chef generate policyfile install_datadog

add code to ONE file install_datadog.rb

name 'install_datadog'
default_source :supermarket
run_list 'datadog::dd-agent'
default['datadog']['api_key'] = '8uLllbAPTnxa39z42M'
default['datadog']['application_key'] = 'WlmB9RYwGzzhLHKn81'
default['datadog']['enable_process_agent'] = true

chef-run somehost.com install_datadog.rb or chef-apply somehost.com install_datadog.rb
