Packer lacks an official Windows CI server.
This commit adds a configuration file for AppVeyor, which is a Windows CI
service (free for open-source projects).
Updated to same ami as in main readme.md which is from community AMIs
and therefore doesn't require accepting the AWS marketplace terms
before using in Packer build.
Previously, groups were granted launch permissions by submitting a
ModifyImageAttribute request with the UserGroups parameter set
appropriately. This is no longer valid, as the LaunchPermission
parameter must be set.
Since the chef-client provisioner is cleaning the node and client at the chef-server from the provisioned node
it needs to have a flexible configuration
This is replacing the used knife flags: -s '<chef-server-url>' -k '/tmp/packer-chef-client/client.pem' -u '<client-name>'
and puts their values into a generated knife.rb
Additionally the knife.rb may include the optional ssl_verify_mode attribute to enable the verify mode verify_none
Background:
When deleting node and client to a self-hosted chef-server using self signed cerfiticates the usage of
knife node delete <node-name> -y -s '<chef-server-url>' -k '/tmp/packer-chef-client/client.pem' -u '<client-name>'
will lead into a ssl verification failure.
The error output of the knife call is somthing like:

This updates the example for adding DigitalOcean
as a provider in the beginning tutorial. It looks
like it hadn't been updated in some time, and
was using old settings. I've updated it and
confirmed it works.
