Installing Virtuoso with Chef

awesome1

Are you aware of a Chef.io cookbook for deploying and configuring Virtuoso 6.xx?

  • I wasn't that aware of Chef (I just read up on it). I'm not sure there's anything special needed. Generally speaking you install Cadence releases (such as IC616) on a filer and then NFS mount the software using a mount point (often automount). This means that there's no major deployment task since you don't need to replicate the installation to each machine in the network. All I do is install on the server and add an automount entry in the automount map, and then it is available to all users. I have a version selection system that uses rule-based lookup to find releases, but if you were using something like "modules", it would just be a matter of adding a module entry for that release too so that users can pick it.

    So I'm not sure what you're asking - to me it doesn't look as if Chef would add much value here. Maybe others in the community have used Chef and can give you the advice you're looking for.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
