Chef supporting cloud platforms -


i'm trying implement deployment automation using chef. far have implemented using amazon ec2 , internap cloud platforms. know chef supports few cloud platforms.

other chef there library can used create cloud instances in variety of different platforms?

deployment automation anyway using chef, problem create instances in different platforms.

problem there no generic way launch vms on clouds. each has own set of options , settings. 1 thing industry starting standardize around both amazon , openstack.

the chef knife command has number of helper plugins launching servers on 3rd party clouds. these convenient use, may not realise these convenient wrappers around knife bootstrap command. can pre-provision servers , add them chef server second step. 1 option use open source abstraction layer like:

the latter implemented in ruby , used write many of knife plugins clouds amazon, rackspace, etc.

finally, more complex superior solution use providers userdata service (if exists). many clouds support ability specify how vm configured on startup. many cloud vm images have cloud-init built in , has support initializing chef.
