Policyfile Support for chef-solo provisioner #10

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

This issue was originally opened by @DWSR as hashicorp/packer#6992. It was migrated here as a result of the Packer plugin split. The original body of the issue is below.

Similar to hashicorp/packer#5574

Policyfile support should be added to the chef-solo provisioner, similar to how it is supported by the chef-client provisioner. I believe the reason the original PR didn't address the deficiency in the Solo provisioner was due to some uncertainty around using Policyfiles with it. There is an example here on how this works (also illustrating how to use chef export to bundle everything up). Additionally, since chef-solo is now just chef-client in Local Mode, there is definitely support for Policyfiles.

Ideally, it would be nice to be able to use the same control mechanisms in both my provisioning pipeline and my actual production environment.
