Berks upload seems very slow

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi,

I’m uploading from a MacBook with 16 gigs of ram, to a VM running chef
server with 4 gigs of ram. 30mbit/s upload speed.

To do a berks upload of about 6 cookbooks takes over 3 minutes. Seems kind
of slow to me, but I don’t understand all of its inner workings.

Just looking for some feedback to understand this or make it better…

Make sure you don't have any 'huge' files that are being uploaded. You may
need a 'chefignore' file to ignore .kitchen/ if you're doing KitchenCI.
E.g. set 'terrida-base/chefignore' to include a line with '.kitchen'.
