#chef

anyone around?

koen_: require is a ruby thing, it's basically an include

something like include_recipe?

commands that start with :: are using Ruby namespacing mechanics

no, include_recipe is a chef level thing

require is a ruby thing

it's a language level feature of Ruby

bt both perform the same operation?

no

ok

they are different things that have vastly different implications

knife ssh "role:web" "sudo chef-client" -x ec2-user -a ec2 ---> so this command will run a converge in all the machine that matches the search.my question is

how to bootstrap the nodes before running this

do u bootstrap one by one manually in production? using a knife bootstrap ? or any other better way?

the initial research showed we can use roles.but this is an example i found knife exec -E 'nodes.find("chef_environment:dev") {|n| puts n.run_list << "role[base]" unless n.run_list.include?("role[base]"); n.save }'

not sure what that snippet does

koen_: like I said last week, most folks don't actually bootstrap one by one

they have some other mechanism do it

could u brief more about the mechanism used?how about u ?

that last snippet does uses `knife exec` which is effectively doing transforms against the API

there is no different mechanism, that is actually the same

the chef-client auto-registers on first run

that's just how it works

now how you install and deploy out config and key is up to you

cloud-init, packer, etc

what does this do 'nodes.find("chef_environment:dev")

hrm.. guess this is not a cooking channel
