CPLUG

Kyle Burton will be visiting us for the next CPLUG meeting on Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 6:30 PM….

Leveraging Chef-Solo for Less than Enterprise Scale Deployments

“When you’re a small, and I mean small, company with an even smaller IT department you can’t afford not to automate provisioning and system administration. Developing a culture of automation early on is vital for ensuring that your infrastructure group can scale itself as your business grows. Chef is an up and coming system administration automation framework that makes installing and managing cloud computing systems take less time and produces more consistent results. This talk will cover the architecture of Chef-Solo, getting started, core features and best practices for maintaing a cluster of systems.”

After the meeting, we’ll head next door to LBC for some food and drink.

See you then!
