    1. Now login to your chef-node/chef-client and type ohai. Ohai is automatically bootstraped when we install chef.
      You will get an output similar to below:

      It gives information about our node.

    2. Suppose if I want to retrieve the ipaddress of node then we can execute the command:
      ohai ipaddressOutput will be as follows:
      [
      "192.168.1.240"
      ]
      We can use these attributes in our code.
      ohai hostname
      [
      "chef-node"
      ]
      ohai | grep ipaddress

      "total": 2,
      "real": 2,
      "cores": 2
      }
      ohai platform
      [
      "centos"
      ]
      ohai platform_family

      [
      "rhel"
      ]

    3. Lets edit the apache cookbook we created in previous post.
      Edit default.rb
      [code]
      if node['platform_family'] == "rhel"
      package = "httpd"
      elsif node['platform_family'] == "debian"
      package = "apache2"
      end

      package 'apache2' do
      package_name package
      action :install
      end

      service 'apache2' do
      service_name package
      action [:start, :enable]
      end

      [/code]

    4. Now create a recipe motd.rb with the following content:
      [code]

      hostname = node['hostname']
      file '/etc/motd' do
      content "Hostname is this #{hostname}"
      end

      [/code]

      Add the code to git repo. Then upload the cookbook to chef-server. Then add the recipe to the run_list with the command:
      knife node run_list add chef-node 'recipe[motd]'

    5. Now if you run chef-client then you will get the following error:
      Error Resolving Cookbooks for Run List:
      ================================================================================

      Missing Cookbooks:
      ------------------
      The following cookbooks are required by the client but don't exist on the server
      * motd

      We called motd but motd is not a cookbook it is a recipe inside the apache cookbook.
      Now go ahead and remove the recipe from run_list.
      knife node run_list remove chef-node 'recipe[motd]'
      Then add the recipe as:
      knife node run_list add chef-node 'recipe[apache::motd]'

    6. Then run the chef-client the motd recipe will be executed. View the contents of /etc/motd you will see the content updated there.

Execute the following command to find nodes having recipes:apache
knife search 'recipes:apache'


To find the recipe websites in cookbook apache:
knife search 'recipes:apache\:\:websites'
knife search 'recipes:apache\:\:websites*'


If you want to retrieve a list of hostnames of the nodes which have platform of centos:
knife search 'platfor?:centos' -a hostname
With -a we are specifying the attribute we want.

If you want to list all nodes:
knife search '*:*'

If you want to search the nodes with role web:
knife search role 'role:web'
You can also execute the following:
knife search '*.*' -a recipes

Terraform

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions. Configuration files describe to Terraform the components needed to run a single application or your entire datacenter. Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do to reach the desired state, and then executes it to build the described infrastructure. As the configuration changes, Terraform is able to determine what changed and create incremental execution plans which can be applied. The infrastructure Terraform can manage includes low-level components such as compute instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components such as DNS entries, SaaS features, etc. The key features of Terraform are: Infrastructure as Code : Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and...

Helm: Installation and Configuration

PREREQUISITES You must have Kubernetes installed. We recommend version 1.4.1 or later. You should also have a local configured copy of  kubectl . Helm will figure out where to install Tiller by reading your Kubernetes configuration file (usually  $HOME/.kube/config ). This is the same file that  kubectl  uses. To find out which cluster Tiller would install to, you can run  kubectl config current-context or  kubectl cluster-info . $ kubectl config current-context my-cluster INSTALL HELM Download a binary release of the Helm client. You can use tools like  homebrew , or look at  the official releases page . For more details, or for other options, see  the installation guide . INITIALIZE HELM AND INSTALL TILLER Once you have Helm ready, you can initialize the local CLI and also install Tiller into your Kubernetes cluster in one step: $ helm init This will install Tiller into the Kubernetes cluster you saw with  kubectl config current-context . TIP:  Want to install into a different cl...
