This gist has files that are used to automate chef repository submodules used for roles, data bags, cookbooks and environments, ultimately uploading the maintained chef repository to chef via knife using Jenkins and Github.

The files in this gist are for having Jenkins automatically manage a chef repository using git submodules. This allows for clean, clutter free management of individual cookbooks, and individual respositories for roles, environments and data bags in our chef-repo.

The process relies on using Github (we use Github Enterprise) and Jenkins in combination with the Jenkins Github plugin to notify Jenkins when a repository has changed.

Our chef-repo directory looks something like:

chef-repo
    - cookbooks
          - Each cookbook is a git submodule managed by Jenkins
    - data_bags (git submodule managed by Jenkins)

Getting Amazon VPC up and running with Cisco ASAs can be a pain. This is the config that we used to make it work.
! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
! This example configuration shows what WE did to get Amazon VPC working with our
! ASAs. We use version 8.3(1). This config has not been reviewed or otherwise
! blessed in any way by anyone at Amazon. YMMV.
!
! It differs from Amazon's supplied config by using two different sets of
! crypto maps and ACLs, so it brings both tunnels up simultaneously.
!
! For the purposes of the example, the physical datacenter network is 172.16.1.0/24
! and the VPC is 10.0.0.0/16.

Boxen uses a bunch of shellscripts to insert itself into your environment on shell load.

These assume a POSIX shell, which fish is not.

Run this script to generate a fish-compatible config file in ~/.config/fish/boxen.fish, which you can source at the end of your ~/.config/fish/config.fish.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real
