Previously the setting for Ubuntu systems was not getting used due to a misalignment between the cookbook and cli. On the cli, node['cluster']['enable_efa'] was set to 'efa' in the dna.json file, but the cookbook assumed the parameter was set to 'compute'. This causes the disable_ptrace action if clause to be skipped. This page describes the use of sysctl https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man5/sysctl.conf.5.html This page describes the function of the ptrace_scope parameter https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/security/Yama.txt Chef actually generates a config file in /etc/sysctl.d/ for the parameter that is changed so it should persist. https://docs.chef.io/resources/sysctl/
