Working Example

So obviously without any documentation, you're not expecting any support questions yet :)

That being said, I was trying to make chef-metal-ssh work and was about to start renaming everything to chef-provisioning and saw that this was made. I'll try and help port the docs over if I can get it working.

Trying something like this

require 'chef/provisioning/ssh_driver'

with_driver 'ssh:/tmp/test/ssh_cluster'

machine "designer" do
  action [:ready,:converge]
  machine_options 'fqdn' => 'myexample.com',
                  'ssh_options' => {
                    'user' => 'ec2-user',
                    'keys' => "#{ENV['HOME']}/.ssh/test-key.pem"
                  }
  recipe 'distributed-repo::default'
end

And I get

/Users/josh/workspace/projects/chefgen/provisioning/chef-provisioning-ssh/lib/chef/resource/ssh_cluster.rb:18:in `load_prior_resource'
/Users/josh/workspace/projects/chefgen/distributed-repo/vendor/ruby/2.1.0/gems/chef-12.0.1/lib/chef/dsl/recipe.rb:108:in `build_resource'

/Users/josh/workspace/projects/chefgen/provisioning/chef-provisioning-ssh/lib/chef/provisioning/ssh_driver/driver.rb:176:in `block in ensure_ssh_cluster'

Got it going with

with_driver 'ssh:/tmp/designer_cluster'

with_machine_options :transport_options => {
    'hostname' => 'myhost.com',
                  'ssh_options' => {
                    'user' => 'ec2-user',
                    'keys' => "#{ENV['HOME']}/.ssh/test-file.pem"
                }
}
machine "designer" do
  action [:ready,:converge] 
  recipe 'distributed-repo::default'
end
