Provisioning and Testing on VMware vCloud Air With Chef

Taylor@Vulk.coop and I teamed up with Chef to bring VMWare vCloud Air support to the chef toolchain including knife, chef-provisioning, and test-kitchen.

It’s been a bit tricky with a few gotchas that we’ve worked around, mostly around how authentication to the base images is configured.

Documentation was created for the vcair support for chef-provisioning-fog

We wrote kitchen-vcair to add support for test-kitchen

Windows and linux vm walkthroughs where created for for chef-provisioning and test-kitchen.
