Re: Manage all application environments with Vagrant - Shawn Dahlen - http://smdahlen.github.com/blog...
"@twitter-109153778:disqus The kitchen was initially for knife-solo where multiple cookbooks, data bags, roles, etc could live. At the time, I was using knife-solo's support for librarian-chef to manage cookbook dependencies (which were installed to the cookbooks/ directory). The kitchen itself was meant for my application, Marinara, which had a single application cookbook located in the site-cookbooks/ directory. I don't use roles and instead prefer creating wrapper cookbooks as discussed at http://vialstudios.com/guide-a.... When I shifted to a Vagrant workflow, I simply moved the marinara cookbook in the site-cookbooks/ directory into its own repository. Within that repository, I have a Berksfile that defines the cookbook dependencies (which actually references the metadata.rb file). Additionally, the Vagrantfile lives within that cookbook repository. I did keep the data_bags directory in the cookbook repository but I intend to move that directly into a recipe soon." - Shawn Dahlen
Re: Setup node.js servers within a load-balanced configuration - Shawn Dahlen - http://shawn.dahlen.me/blog...
"Unfortunately I ran into a few issues with the latest activity. I'm wrapping up the architecture/infrastructure work this week and should have the post out Friday. Specifically, I'll be discussing the use of Vagrant as a cloud management interface for production environments -- this work spun off as I looked into an elegant way to initiate a MongoDb replica set automatically." - Shawn Dahlen

Re: Week 1: Automate provisioning of secure servers - Shawn Dahlen - http://smdahlen.github.com/blog...
"No it will not. More memory will help to ensure that my MongoDb queries are served as quick as possible -- for $160 DO plan, I will get 16 GB RAM (vs 8 GB for a EC2 large instance for equiv $). If I reserved instances (which I have little capital to do at the moment), the pricing becomes more equivalent. Ultimately, I hope to run performance tests on a few cloud services using my same configuration to find the best performance/price." - Shawn Dahlen
