Starting with Chef Infra Client 16, using resource_name without also using provides will result in resource failures. Make sure to use both resource_name and provides to change the name of the resource. You can also omit resource_name entirely if the value set matches the name Chef Infra Client automatically assigns based on COOKBOOKNAME_FILENAME.

Examples

incorrect
