DevOps?
DevOps (a clipped compound of "development" and "operations")
Its a culture, movement or practice that emphasizes the collaboration and
communication of both software developers and other information-technology
(IT) professionals while automating the process of software delivery and
infrastructure changes.

DevOps
“It aims at establishing a culture and environment where
building, testing, and releasing software, can happen rapidly,
frequently, and more reliably.”

DevOps
Code – Code Development and Review, continuous integration tools
Build – Version control tools, code merging, Build status
Test – Test and results determine performance
Package – Artifact repository, Application pre-deployment staging
Release – Change management, Release approvals, release automation
Configure – Infrastructure configuration and management, Infrastructure as

Let's create a Recipe
mkdir ~/chef-repo
cd ~/chef-repo
Create a MOTD file
vim hello.rb
file '/tmp/motd' do
content 'hello world'
end

Let's configure a resource
chef-client --local-mode hello.rb

Lets install Apache
vim webserver.rb
package 'apache2'
sudo chef-client --local-mode webserver.rb
Recipe: @recipe_files::/root/chef-repo/webserver.rb
apt_package[apache2] action install
- install version 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.8 of package apache2

Run a second time
sudo chef-client --local-mode webserver.rb
* apt_package[apache2] action install (up to date)

Start & Enable Apache
package 'apache2'
service 'apache2' do
supports :status => true
action [:enable, :start]
end

Add a home page
package 'apache2'
end
file '/var/www/html/index.html' do
content '<html>
<body>
<h1>hello world</h1>
</body>
</html>'
end

Cookbooks
Make our recipes manageable
mkdir cookbook
cd cookbooks
chef generate cookbook learn_chef_apache2
This generates all the folder structure with test folders, specs, templates, and the
recipes folders

Update the recipe with a template
package 'apache2'
end
template '/var/www/html/index.html' do
source 'index.html.erb'
end
sudo chef-client --local-mode --runlist 'recipe[learn_chef_apache2]'

Chef Server
Acts as a central repository for your cookbooks as well as for information about every node it manages.
For example, the Chef server knows a node's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and its platform.
