Ansible to Chef: Going from a Science Fiction Messaging System to Cooking with Chef

Grant Ridder, Banjo

Abstract:

Ansible is an easy to use configuration management tool. However, as your infrastructure grows and becomes more complicated, it has a lot of pitfalls. At Banjo, we are migrating from Ansible to Chef. In the migration we have had several struggles but many more optimizations. We will discuss what we are doing and have learned so you don't have to repeat our drawn out process.

Grant is a DevOps engineer at Banjo and is one of several people responsible for designing, automating, and maintaining the infrastructure. He also lead the migration to Chef. He is active in the Chef, python, and ruby communities. Previously Grant was an operations engineer at PagerDuty, as well as a NOC engineer at LinkedIn.
