• public_ip_address: The public IP of your server

• commercial_type: 'C1' or 'VC1M' for example

Usage

ohai-scaleway::default

Include ohai-scaleway in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[ohai-scaleway]"
  ]
}

Then, to avoid reloading ohai at every-run, add the plugin folder into the ohai.plugin_path (can bet set in chef-client.rb) The plugin is installed in the ohai/plugins folder of your chef conf folder (usually /etc/chef). .

On standard setup, you can just add ohai.plugin_path << '/etc/chef/ohai/plugins' to /etc/chef/chef-client.rb (or Ohai::Config[:plugin_path] << '/etc/chef/ohai/plugins' on older versions)
