Meet Chef

My notes from the Meet Chef course at http://pluralsight.com/training/Courses/TableOfContents/meet-chef

Chef is a Ruby framework for automating, reusing and documenting server configuration. It's like Unit tests for your servers.

Vagrant Setup

This tutorial guides you through creating your first Vagrant project.

We start with a generic Ubuntu VM, and use the Chef provisioning tool to:

install packages for vim, git
create user accounts, as specified in included JSON config files
install specified user dotfiles (.bashrc, .vimrc, etc) from a git repository

Afterwards, we'll see how easy it is to package our newly provisioned VM

	To actually create the servers, I will use a slightly modified version of bulk servers create script. I will create one server for Apache Ambari and a number of servers for Apache Hadoop Cluster and I will then use Ambari to install the Hadoop onto the Hadoop cluster servers.

	So basically, I have created the following servers:

	1
	2
	3
	4
	5
