We use a Packer workflow to create AMIs for our apps and then promote them through non-production environments before deploying to production. In non-production environments, it is desirable to install the Datadog Agent, but leave the service stopped and disabled via an environment attribute setting. Once in launched in production, the Agent starts and is enabled.
The cookbook already had an attribute to stop the Agent, but not to control the Agent service's
:enable
/:disable
action. This PR adds that functionality.
