I noticed that my chef commands were taking forever to execute. For example when I type knife -h it can take over a minute to run. I don't see any output when I use -VV during this wait.
What could knife possibly be doing when running the help command? Two things that jump out is that it might be iterating over something or I might have a network issue. I don't understand why the help command would use the network though.
This is for a Windows 7 machine.
Any ideas on how I could troubleshoot this?
