Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Recipes

chef_cfn::default

Installs dependencies

chef_cfn::knife

(optional) Provides a basic knife.rb

chef_cfn::ohai

Installs the aws-sdk chef_gem as well as the ohai[cfn] plugin.
When this runs, it will populate the properties, stack, tags and vpc attribute hashes under the node['cfn'] namespace which may then be used to report signals with the signal handler.

In addition, the properties hash will be merged, and potentially overriden, by any hints set in the cfn hint.

                "*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

chef_cfn::handler

Installs a handler to signal cloudformation of the success or failure of the chef run. When used with either Creation or Update profiles in cloudformation, we can ensure that only nodes with valid chef runs are considered healthy.

Required IAM policies
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "Stmt1434370036000",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [

            "Resource": [
                "*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
Example Cloudformation
{
  "AutoScailingGroup": {
    "CreationPolicy": {
      "ResourceSignal": {
        "Count": 1,
        "Timeout": "PT10M"
      }
    },
    "UpdatePolicy": {
      "AutoScalingRollingUpdate": {
        "WaitOnResourceSignals": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

chef_cfn::mounts

Mounts cloudformation defined volumes.

Please take note that this recipe assumes that cloudformation was responsible to creating and managing the volumes, not chef. As such, all block devices must exist prior to attempting to mount them.

Example Cloudformation Attributes
{
  "AutoScailingGroup": {
    "Metadata": {
      "Mounts": {
        "xvdb3": {
          "mount_point": "/var/log",
          "mount_options": "",
          "filesystem": ""
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

chef_cfn::tools

Installs cloudformation cfn-init tools such as :

  • cfn-init
  • cfn-hup: Periodic polling of cloudformation resource metadata to determine when triggered actions should run.

chef_cfn::shutdown

Installs a service which will delete the node when the instance shuts down.

Resources

chef_cfn_signal

Provides an interface to trigger cloudformation signals from within recipes. This is designed to be used with cloudformation WaitConditions.

Actions

  • signal: Default action

Attribute Parameters

  • url: Url of the resource or WaitHandler to signal
  • unique_id: Unique id of the notification
  • data: Defaults to <code>""</code>.
  • success: Defaults to <code>true</code>.
  • reason: Defaults to <code>"Chef triggered signal from resource"</code>.
  • once: Defaults to <code>true</code>.

Ohai Plugins

CFN

Fetches instance attributes from Cloudformation:DescribeResource as well as EC2:DescribeInstances.
