Description

We have an ignore_failure feature that allows you to not fail the Chef Infra Client run if a failure occurs. It produces a HUGE explosion in the logs though showing you the failure. Chef Infra Client 14.1 and later support ignore_failure :quiet which reduces the noise.

Document the quiet form supported by Chef Infra Client 14.1 and later, including that it reduces failure-log noise; the work is done when users can find and understand the syntax and version availability.
