One of Chef?s design goals is to provide primitives for data driven infrastructure automation. Recently, Opscode released a cookbook that fits this goal, allowing operations teams to deploy applications purely from a JSON data specification of an application. This talk will take a detailed look at the cookbook and how it works to deploy a typical Rails application to fit into a web application infrastructure. http://boulderruby.org/meetings/2010/04/06/may-2010/ Cheers, Marty Haught http://boulderruby.org From ewc at absolute-performance.com Thu May 13 20:11:04 2010 From: ewc at absolute-performance.com (Erik Cunningham) Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 18:11:04 -0600 Subject: [Boulder Ruby Group] Job opening in Boulder Message-ID: Absolute Performance Inc in Boulder, Colorado has an immediate opening for a Ruby/Rails web application developer.
