One of the reasons why I went through all of these upgrades was to be able to quickly rebuild servers and re provision the services.<\/p>\n
I have most of my DMZ servers at CentOS 6 64bit (just 1 server is not), and have fairly decent documentation on how to deploy these machines.<\/p>\n
Now, I want to take that next step and be able to deploy using chef.<\/p>\n
I first tried installing chef on an existing box, unfortunately, the rpm I installed collided with apache. \u00a0Also the start up process is so different from other applications I have installed in the past. \u00a0It seems to want to start the process via \/etc\/init and not use the normal runlevels that CentOS 6 uses. \u00a0So I ended up starting it up on its own box.<\/p>\n
So far it looks OK, I will revisit this more tomorrow, but I am fairly sure that it will be a while before this server is in production.<\/p>\n
On the cleanup side, I have taken a step back a bit. \u00a0With the Christmas decorations coming up, my office is getting all the stuff that was in the living room.<\/p>\n
Just doing pushups and situps. \u00a0More cleanup tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
