Engine Yard Cloud v5 Chef Recipes

• This codebase and its cookbooks represent the latest version of Engine Yard's stable-v5-3.0 stack.

Dependencies

To upload and run the recipes from the CLI, you need the ey-core gem.

gem install ey-core

Usage

1. Create the cookbooks/ directory at the root of your application. If you prefer to keep the infrastructure code separate from application code, you can create a new repository.

2. For each custom cookbook that you want to use, do the following:

   • Create or edit cookbooks/ey-custom/recipes/after-main.rb and add the line:

   include_recipe 'custom-<recipe>'
   

   • Create or edit cookbooks/ey-custom/metadata.rb and add the line depends 'custom-<recipe>'
     • prepend name 'ey-custom' to cookbooks/ey-custom/metadata.rb in case of a creation
   • Download this repository and copy custom-cookbooks/<recipe>/cookbooks/custom-<recipe> to cookbooks. For example, to use memcached, copy custom-cookbooks/memcached/cookbooks/custom-memcached to cookbooks/custom-memcached.

3. Alternative to step #2 above: use ey-v5-starterkit to automate copying the recipe from the custom-cookbooks directory

4. To upload and apply the recipes, run

   ey-core recipes upload --environment <nameofenvironment> --apply
