Parallelization in Chef Recipes

Chef presently runs the resources in a recipe serially, one after the next. In this proposal, user-selected groups of resources will run their actions in parallel.

MVP (Minimum Viable Product) Features

in_parallel

To run a group of resources in parallel, you write it this way:

Auto-enable Local HTTP Caching in Test Kitchen

Note: total experiment and hack, looks nasty, could be awesome:

Setup

• Drop the kitchen.local.yml into $HOME/.kitchen/config.yml
• Install polipo (with Mac: brew install polipo, with Ubuntu: apt-get install polipo)
• Drop polipo-start and polipo-console somewhere useful (perhaps $HOME/bin?)

This is a little trick I use to spin up the packages instalation on Debian/Ubuntu boxes in Vagrant.

I add a simple function that checks if a directory named something similar to ~/.vagrant.d/cache/apt/opscode-ubuntu-12.04/partial (it may have another path in Windows or MacOS) and create the directory if it doesn't already exist.

def local_cache(basebox_name)
  cache_dir = Vagrant::Environment.new.home_path.join('cache', 'apt', basebox_name)
  partial_dir = cache_dir.join('partial')
  partial_dir.mkdir unless partial_dir.exist?

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
