datadog agnet6 failing while using amazonlinux in test-kitchen

[isukapalli]

Convergence failing when using kitchen-docker with the below error.

---- Begin output of /sbin/start datadog-agent ----
           STDOUT:
           STDERR: start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

Agent5 works fine and not giving any error.

cookbook version: 3.2.0
image: amazonlinx 2018.03

Hello @isukapalli ,
This is because while running in a Docker container using kitchen-docker, it's most likely that there is no init system running (Upstart, systemd, ...), thus the cookbook can't properly try to start/stop the Agent. The Agent 5 uses supervisord and that's why it runs well.
If possible, you can switch to the Vagrant provider.
