Hungry for Nova Cuisine? Adding Chef recipes for OpenStack Nova

As promised, here’s the other drop in advance of our OpenStack team’s Crowbar release. 

This is the second part of the Swift and Nova recipes that we are intentionally leaking out to the community.

USAGE NOTE: These recipes are designed to work with Crowbar!  They are not intended to stand alone.

As part of our collaboration with Opscode, Matt Ray, has been merging our recipes into his most excellent OpenStack cookbook tree.  If you want to see our unmerged recipes, we’re also posting those to our github

In addition to our Swift recipes, you can now check out the Nova recipes.

ADDITIONAL USAGE NOTE: The Matt’s tree is more complete – these are released for reference only.  They will ultimately be maintained as part of the Crowbar.

Cooking up OpenStack Chef recipes with Opscode

Our OpenStack team here at Dell has been busy getting Crowbar ready to open source and that does not leave much time for blog posts.  We’re putting on a new UI, modularizing with barclamps and creating network options for Nova Cactus.

Sharing is goodHowever, I wanted to take a minute to update the community about Swift and Nova recipes that we are intenionally leaking out to the community in advance of the larger Crowbar code drop.

As part of our collaboration with Opscode, Matt Ray, has been merging our recipes into his most excellent OpenStack cookbook tree.  If you want to see our unmerged recipes, we’re also posting those to our github.  So far, we have the Swift recipes available (thanks to Andi Abes!) with Nova to follow soon.

5/31 Update: These are now online.
