Chef Infra

This is how i manage spinning up multi-node infra projects for testing.

Some people at chef conf were interested in how I test infrastructures.thats what this is.

Why

This is meant to bea set of thor tasks, spice files and vagrant file to bootstrap an arbitrary "infrastructure"

I use this to help developers get setup with openstack clusters, and on our CI environment to setup a functional testing invironment.

Requirements

You have to have vagrant 1.1+ installed (omni vagrant) This is inteneded to work with that The gem file should get it

Using It

from the project root:

 bundle install

drop these files into your chef project repo. If you are using Berkshelf it will work as-is. If you are not then you will have to edit spice/default.yml to include the cooks you want.

 bundle exec thor llist

Set up default

 bundle exec thor infra 

Use a non default spice "cluster"

edit the spice/cluster files to your liking or add your own

 bundle exec thor infra -c spice/cluster_2node.yml
