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.

PlatformStack

This cookbook installs and sets up commonly used things that we consider useful or standard (such as setting the timezone to UTC).

This cookbook is intended to install things that are NOT specific to DevOps support level at Rackspace. Contrast this with rackops_rolebook cookbook which performs configuration specifically for DevOps customers.

general notes

Most things can be toggled with an enabled attribute and some things are disabled by default. We lock down openssh pretty hard by default as well.

rackspace services

If you wish to use rackspace_cloudbackup or cloud monitoring you will need to set the following attributes:

node['rackspace']['cloud_credentials']['username']
node['rackspace']['cloud_credentials']['api_key']

specific notes

iptables

  • We only start iptables if node['platformstack']['rackconnect'] is false
  • We set up the rackconnect user and enable password auth via openssh if node['platformstack']['rackconnect'] is true
  • We allow ssh from the world by default (controled by the node['platformstack']['iptables']['allow_ssh_from_world'] attribute

locale

Fairly simple and set by the node['platformstack']['locale'] attribute

monitors

Sets up monitoring for the following by default:
- cpu
- disk
- load
- memory
- network
- filesystem
- for non-memory type filesystems by default
- service
- only enabled if set up via the node['platformstack']['cloud_monitoring']['service']['name'] attribute

You can set the period and timeout along with the critical and warning thresholds via attributes, check the cloud_monitoring attributes file for more info.

default

Sets the timezone to UTC by default.

We run last in the run list via a notification / ruby_block trick to run last so that we can collect all overrides for node attributes.

This cookbook sets up the following (default disabled will be noted by a '*')
- apt:: default if debian
