Additional hypervisors in running_in_a_vm?

Is this information not in the ohai Virtualization plugin? You should be able to look for items in the node['virtualization']['systems'] mash that are of the type 'guest'. If parallels isn't properly detecting there please let me know over in the Ohai repo and I'll get that fixed up.

If something is missing just ping me on slack. I'm around. This cookbook is getting great and super important to us.

We didn't know it existed - thanks! We'll aim to get this resolved in next week's release.

Thanks, @clburlison for the issue submission and @tas50 for that tip.

@jazaval This should do it:

node['virtualization']['systems'].values.include? 'guest'

[clburlison]

I honestly didn't know the ohai virtualization code was designed to detect VM guests. Looking through the current ohai virtualization code Parallels is the only hypervisor that supports guest detection. So I opened chef/ohai#1163

For what it is worth using the following block works right now with the currently shipping chef code:

Chef.node['cpu']['flags'].include? 'vmm'

[americanhanko]

This is resolved via #73 - @clburlison if node['virtualization']['systems'] returns an empty hash, we assume are not running on bare metal.
