Description

A Light-weight Resource and Provider (LWRP) supporting
automatic DNS configuration via DNSimple's API.

Requirements

• A DNSimple account at https://dnsimple.com
• Chef 11 or newer (Feel free to send a pull request for Chef 10.x support)

Deprecation Warning

• The 2.x series of this cookbook will drop support for the Fog gem and username/password authentication along with Chef 11 support. Please version pin in your metadata or Berksfile to the nearest 1.x minor version to maintain backward compatibility like so: cookbook "dnsimple", "~> 1.2.0"
