Deprecation: Cloud_v2 attribute removal (OHAI-11)

In Ohai/Chef Infra Client 13 we replaced the existing Cloud plugin with the Cloud V2 plugin. That was done by having Ohai populate both node['cloud'] and node['cloud_v2'] with the data previously found at node['cloud_v2']. In Chef Infra Client 14 we will no longer populate node['cloud_v2'].

Remediation

If you have a cookbook that relies on data from node['cloud_v2'] you will need to update the code to instead use node['cloud'] attributes. Keep in mind that if you’re attempting to support Chef < 13 this data will be different. Foodcritic’s FC095 rule will detect any usage of the node['cloud_v2'] attributes.
