The name Bare Metal Cloud Services (BMCS) has changed to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and this plugin has updated all occurrences of the old name accordingly. Existing versions of knife-bmcs will not be affected, but no new versions of knife-bmcs will be released, so users are encouraged to move to the new knife-oci plugin to take advantage of new features and bug fixes going forward. The new plugin will require the following changes for existing users of knife-bmcs:
- All commands will be under 'knife oci' instead of 'knife bmcs'.
- The parameters '--bmcs-config-file' and '--bmcs-profile' will change to '--oci-config-file' and '--oci-profile'.
- If 'bmcs_config_file' or 'bmcs_profile' is used in your knife config file, then these should be changed to 'oci_config_file' and 'oci_profile'. However, for backwards compatibility, if the 'oci_' parameters are not found then the BMCS versions will be used.
- The default location for the the config file will move from '
/.oraclebmc/config' to '/.oci/config'. For backwards compatibility, if '/.oci/config' is not found then '/.oraclebmc/config' will be used.
When the new plugin is available, it can be installed from RubyGems with:
chef gem install knife-oci
Or:
gem install knife-oci
Existing users of knife-bmcs may still view the documentation for that version at README_BMCS.md.
