Introduction to Chef

Full Day
(9:00 am-5:00 pm)

Washington 5 Room

Coding
W3
New!
Nathen Harvey, Opscode
Description: 

This full-day tutorial will provide the attendee with a hands-on introduction to the Chef configuration management system for performing common automation tasks. Each exercise will be instructor-led, and introduce new Chef concepts along the way. We'll cover the Anatomy of a Chef Run, Chef's Authentication Cycle, how to build roles, manipulate configurationĀ through data in attributes, use Chef's search API for dynamic configuration, and more.

Who should attend: 

Sysadmins interested in using Chef to meet their configuration management needs.

Take back to work: 

Hands-on experience configuring Chef and writing Chef cookbooks. The mixture of tutorial and hands-on teaching in this course gives attendees real exposure to Chef concepts, software, and configuration. The material in this course is intended to bootstrap the attendees' knowledge and provide them with the ability to immediately work with Chef outside of the course.

Topics include: 
  • Set up a local workstation with Chef and connect to a Chef server
  • Write your first Chef cookbook
  • Use Chef to automate installation of a Nagios server as a real world example
  • Automate some common system tasks with Chef
