Our custom Chef recipe stopped working on EY cloud

We have some custom Chef recipes that we have been running on EY Cloud for some time. The code for these custom recipes was using the chef-deploy gem, which was apparently always available in the environment in which the recipe ran.

However, when we ran our recipe last week, it blew up trying to require the gem. We fixed this by removing the require and folding some of the code from the gem into our recipe.

There is a corresponding issue in the EY community forums:
