- Fedora

### Cookbooks
- none
## Resources
- [`yum_globalconfig`](documentation/yum_globalconfig.md)
- [`dnf_module`](documentation/dnf_module.md)
## Recipes (deprecated)
- `default` - Configures `yum_globalconfig[/etc/yum.conf]` with values found in node attributes at `node['yum']['main']`
## Attributes
The following attributes are set by default
```ruby
default['yum']['main']['cachedir'] = '/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever'
default['yum']['main']['keepcache'] = false
default['yum']['main']['debuglevel'] = nil
default['yum']['main']['exclude'] = nil
default['yum']['main']['logfile'] = '/var/log/yum.log'
default['yum']['main']['exactarch'] = nil
default['yum']['main']['obsoletes'] = nil
default['yum']['main']['installonly_limit'] = nil
default['yum']['main']['installonlypkgs'] = nil
default['yum']['main']['installroot'] = nil
```
For Amazon platform nodes, the default is to receive a continuous flow of updates,
```ruby
default['yum']['main']['releasever'] = 'latest'
```
To lock existing instances to the current version of the Amazon AMI,
```ruby
default['yum']['main']['releasever'] = ''
```
