msdeploy::install

This recipe installs MSDeploy 3.0 via Web Platform Installer

e.g. Just include msdeploy::install in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[msdeploy:install]"
  ]
}

msdeploy_sync resource

This resource allows you to sync two places (e.g. package and IIS site) using MSDeploy.

There is only one action :sync.

To run synchornisation you need to provide values for two attributes: source and dest. Both of them has the same format: :provider => 'provider_path'. As provider you can pass any valid MSDeploy provider like contentPath, package, etc. provider_path must be valid path for given provider (e.g. path to zip package). If provider does not require path, pass nil.
