Chef now handles URI Schemes in a case insensitive manner

Previously, when a URI scheme contained all uppercase letters, Chef would reject the URI as invalid. In compliance with RFC3986, Chef now treats URI schemes in a case insensitive manner. This applies to all resources which accept URIs such as remote_file etc.

Experimental Audit Mode Feature

There is a new command_line flag provided for chef-client: --audit-mode. This accepts 1 of 3 arguments:

  • disabled (default) - Audits are disabled and the phase is skipped. This is the default while Audit mode is an experimental feature.
  • enabled - Audits are enabled and will be performed after the converge phase.
  • audit-only - Audits are enabled and convergence is disabled. Only audits will be performed.

This can also be configured in your node's client.rb with the key audit_mode and a value of :disabled, :enabled or :audit_only.

Chef Why Run Mode Ignores Audit Phase

Because most users enable why_run mode to determine what resources convergence will update on their system, the audit phase is not executed. There is no way to get both why_run output and audit output in 1 single command. To get audit output without performing convergence use the --audit-mode flag.

Editors note 1

The --audit-mode flag should be a link to the documentation for that flag

This probably only needs to be a bullet point added to http://docs.getchef.com/nodes.html#about-why-run-mode under the certain assumptions section
