Ohai Chefs!

Work has been busy and I’ve been working on my presentation in my “free” time, so this week I’m rounding up some links I think you’ll like.

  1. Last check-in time for nodes by Josh Timberman. Nice short post with great explanations.

  2. How the Chef client builds the Resource Collection queue by Eric Hollensbe. I have a much better understanding of how a Chef run actually works after reading this.

  3. Good overview of Chef testing by Nathen Harvey.

  4. Also see Joshua Timberman’s Anatomy of a Test Kitchen 1.0 Cookbook for more testing goodness.

  1. Chef Shell (a.k.a. Shef) debugging tips by Steven Danna. This is one blog post I really need to dig into when I have a free morning.

  2. . An excellent presentation by Ross Snyder at Etsy. Need to convince your boss that Continuous Delivery/Deployment is a good idea? This will help.

  3. Jon Cowie from Etsy will reprise his Velocity 2012 talk Michelin Starred Cooking with Chef on May 14th, 2013. I attended this talk at Velocity last year and I’m looking forward to seeing it again. Highly recommended.

  4. I was just going to have seven links but I couldn’t help add this one in. Josh Timberman’s Big Ruby Conf talk on 5 Things You Didn’t Know About Chef.

That’s it for this week. Hope you pick up some good tips from these links. Happy Cooking!
