Engine Yard Cloud v6 Chef Recipes

• This codebase and its cookbooks represent the latest version of Engine Yard's stable-v6-1.0 stack.

Dependencies

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

gem install ey-core

Usage

Environment Variables Settings

Many features in an Engine Yard Cloud stable-v6 environment can now be enabled and configured via environment variables.

This makes working with the Engine Yard Cloud platform much easier and removes the need for custom Chef recipes in many cases.

More details can be found here.

Custom Chef

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. To upload and apply the recipes, run

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