With Test Kitchen, in the yaml configs... where is the best place to store globally used attributes that apply to multiple platforms and multiple suites?
To use my .kitchen.yml as an example:
---
provisioner:
name: chef_solo
platforms:
- name: centos-6.5
driver:
name: vagrant
- name: amazon
driver:
name: ec2
image_id: ami-ed8e9284
flavor_id: t2.medium
aws_ssh_key_id: <snip>
ssh_key: <snip>
availability_zone: us-east-1a
subnet_id: subnet-<snip>
require_chef_omnibus: true
iam_profile_name: <snip>
ebs_delete_on_termination: true
security_group_ids: sg-<snip>
# area in question (does not work here)
attributes:
teamcity:
server: 'build.example.com'
port: 80
username: 'example'
password: 'example'
# end area in question
suites:
- name: resin4
run_list:
- recipe[example_server::resin4]
- recipe[example_server::deploy_all_artifacts]
- name: deploy
run_list:
- recipe[example_server::deploy_all_artifacts]
- name: default
run_list:
- recipe[example_server::elasticsearch]
- recipe[example_server::resin4]
- recipe[example_server::deploy_all_artifacts]
I know there are other kitchen files, such as ~/kitchen/config.yml and .kitchen.local.yml but I've been unable to find a away to get attributes to apply to all platforms and suites. Is copy and pasting attributes to platforms the best way?
