The `provides` syntax on the -Chef::Resource DSL (which has existed for 4 years) has been expanded to use platform_family and os and has been applied -to most resources. This does early switching at compile time between different resources based on the node data returned -from ohai. The effect is that previously the package resource on a CentOS machine invoked via `package "foo"` would be -an instance of Chef::Resource::Package but would use the Chef::Provider::Package::Yum provider. After the changes to -the resources the resource will be an instance of Chef::Resource::YumPackage and will do the correct validation for -the yum package provider. - -For the service resource it uses late validation via the Chef::ProviderResolver and will dynamically select which -service provider to use at package converge time right before the service provider actions are invoked. This means -that if Chef is used to install systemd (or alternatively to remove it) then the ProviderResolver will be invoked -and will be able to determine the proper provider to start the service. It also allows for multiple providers to -be invoked for a resource on a case-by-case basis. The old static one-to-one Chef::Platform provider mapping was -inflexible since it cannot handle the case where an admin installs or removes a subsystem from a distro, and cannot -handle the case where there may be multiple providers that handle different kinds of services (e.g. Upstart, SysV, -etc). This fixes the Ubuntu 14.04 service resource problems, and can handle arbitrarily complicated future distro -and administrative preferences dynamically. - |
