BarbicanAutomation

Organization of Chef Cookbooks

For Chef development we are using Berkshelf to manage our cookbooks. Since we are using Berkshelf our cookbooks are located in separate individual repositories, located here: cloudkeep-ops.

There are four main cookbooks to deploy the Barbican application:

• Chef Barbican - Includes recipes for deploying Barbican Worker and API nodes
• Barbican Postgres - Wrapper cookbook for configuring Postgresql in a Barbican cluster
• Barbican RabbitMQ - Wrapper cookbook for configuring RabbitMQ in a Barbican cluster

The cookbooks have been designed that they can be deployed with or without a Chef server.
