-
-   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-       of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-       as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-       documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,

-   defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-   incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-   of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

-# chef-provisioning-azure
-
-This is an implementation of an Microsoft Azure driver for [chef-provisioning](/chef/chef-provisioning) that relies on [azure-sdk-for-ruby](https://github.com/stuartpreston/stuartpreston-azure-sdk-for-ruby) and the Azure Service Management API.
-
-## What does it do?
-
-It can provision and converge a host on Azure with a recipe like the following:
-
-### Linux
-
-```ruby
-require 'chef/provisioning/azure_driver'
-with_driver 'azure'
-
-machine_options = {
-    :bootstrap_options => {
-      :cloud_service_name => 'chefprovisioning', #required

-      :vm_size => "Standard_D1", #required
-      :location => 'West US', #required
-      :tcp_endpoints => '80:80' #optional
-    },
-    :image_id => 'b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-14_04_1-LTS-amd64-server-20140927-en-us-30GB', #required
-    # Until SSH keys are supported (soon)
-    :password => "chefm3t4l\\m/" #required
-}
-
-machine 'toad' do
-  machine_options machine_options
-end
-```
-
-### Windows
-
-The following example creates a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM from the public OS image gallery, then the uses the public WinRM/s port to bootstrap the server.
-
-```ruby
-require 'chef/provisioning/azure_driver'
-with_driver 'azure'

-machine_options = {
-    :bootstrap_options => {
-      :vm_user => 'localadmin', #required if Windows

- * If you have previously connected to your Azure subscription using the [azure-cli](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-command-line-tools/) tools and imported your publishsettings, **you do not need to do anything else** the driver will read your profile information and certificates from ~/.azure/azureProfile.json
- * Alternatively, we support any of the methods listed in [configuration](docs/configuration.md) to set the driver up with access to your subscription
- * Note that the use of ~/.azure/config to configure the driver is **no longer supported**.
-
-### Setting your credentials (v0.2.1 and below)
-
-Put the right values in ~/.azure/config so that it looks like the following:
-
-```
-[default]
-management_certificate = "/Users/YOU/.azure/azure.pem"
-subscription_id = "YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"
-```
-
-If you need to generate a certificate for Azure on OSX / Linux you can do it with the following:
-
-```shell
-openssl req \
-  -x509 -nodes -days 365 \
-  -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout azure.pem -out azure.pem
-```
-
-followed by conversion to the DER format for Azure:
-
-```shell
-openssl x509 -inform pem -in azure.pem -outform der -out azure.cer
-```

+# chef-provisioning-azure
+
+This is an implementation of an Microsoft Azure driver for [chef-provisioning](/chef/chef-provisioning) that relies on [azure-sdk-for-ruby](https://github.com/stuartpreston/stuartpreston-azure-sdk-for-ruby) and the Azure Service Management API.
+
+**Please note this driver does not support Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and is therefore only able to create "classic" VM resources that sit behind a cloud service in Azure. A new driver is under development - see [chef-provisioning-azurerm](https://github.com/pendrica/chef-provisioning-azurerm).**
+
+## What does it do?
+
+It can provision and converge a host on Azure with a recipe like the following:
+
+### Linux
+
+```ruby
+require 'chef/provisioning/azure_driver'
+with_driver 'azure'
+
+machine_options = {
+    :bootstrap_options => {
+      :cloud_service_name => 'chefprovisioning', #required
+      :storage_account_name => 'chefprovisioning', #required
+      :vm_size => "Standard_D1", #required
+      :location => 'West US', #required
+      :tcp_endpoints => '80:80' #optional
+    },
+    :image_id => 'b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-14_04_2-LTS-amd64-server-20150706-en-us-30GB', #required
+    # Until SSH keys are supported (soon)
+    :password => "chefm3t4l\\m/" #required
+}
+
+machine 'toad' do
+  machine_options machine_options
+end
+```
+
+### Windows
+
+The following example creates a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM from the public OS image gallery, then the uses the public WinRM/s port to bootstrap the server.
+
+```ruby
+require 'chef/provisioning/azure_driver'
+with_driver 'azure'
+
+machine_options = {
+    :bootstrap_options => {
+      :vm_user => 'localadmin', #required if Windows
+      :cloud_service_name => 'chefprovisioning', #required
+      :storage_account_name => 'chefprovisioning', #required
+      :vm_size => 'Standard_D1', #optional
+      :location => 'West US', #optional
+      :tcp_endpoints => '3389:3389', #optional
+      :winrm_transport => { #optional
+        'https' => { #required (valid values: 'http', 'https')
+          :disable_sspi => false, #optional, (default: false)
+          :basic_auth_only => false, #optional, (default: false)
+          :no_ssl_peer_verification => true #optional, (default: false)
+        }
+      }
+    },
+    :password => 'P2ssw0rd', #required
+    :image_id => 'a699494373c04fc0bc8f2bb1389d6106__Windows-Server-2012-R2-201506.01-en.us-127GB.vhd' #required
+}
+
+machine 'toad' do
+  machine_options machine_options
+end
+```
+
+Note that images are not kept historically in Azure, therefore to find the latest images for your platform use the command ```azure vm image list``` to ensure the public image you require is available.
+
+## Supported Features
+ * Automatic creation and teardown of Cloud Services
+ * Public (OS) images and captured User (VM) images
+ * Up to date (March 2015) VM sizes including 'D', 'DS', 'G', A10/A11 sizes.
+ * Custom TCP/UDP endpoints per VM role
+ * Linux VMs, SSH external bootstrap via cloud service endpoint
+ * Windows VMs, WinRM bootstrap via cloud service endpoint
+
+## Unsupported/will not work
+ * Load-balanced sets
+ * Availability sets/Fault domains
+ * Cloud Service autoscaling
+ * Endpoint monitoring
+ * Additional disk volumes
+ * Affinity groups
+ * Direct server return IP addresses
+ * Reserved/Static IP addresses
+ * Virtual network allocation
+ * Bootstrap via internal (private) addresses
+ * Non-IaaS Azure services (e.g CDN/TrafficManager, Service Bus, Azure SQL Database, Media Services, Redis Cache)
+
+**This driver is no longer under active development as the creation of resources under Service Management mode in Azure is being deprecated in favour of Azure Resource Manager.**
+
+## Getting started
+
+The gem is installed into Chef's default Ruby via RubyGems:
+
+```
+chef gem install chef-provisioning-azure
+```
+
+### Setting your credentials (v0.3 and above)
+
+ * If you have previously connected to your Azure subscription using the [azure-cli](http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-command-line-tools/) tools and imported your publishSettings (by using ```azure account download``` and ```azure account import <filename.publishSettings>```), **you do not need to do anything else** the driver will read your profile information and certificates from ~/.azure/azureProfile.json
+ * Alternatively, we support any of the methods listed in [configuration](docs/configuration.md) to set the driver up with access to your subscription
+ * Note that the use of ~/.azure/config to configure the driver is **no longer supported**.
