Hi all,
Does anybody have experience of having more than 1 chef server running for HA purposes.
I am concerned if my Chef Server goes bang, it will be difficult to point all the existing chef nodes at a new server - and some node.save information might have been lost
Any thoughts / articles / howtos / greatly appreciated
Thanks
An earlier discussion on this topic turned into
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Scalability+and+High+Availability.
It clearly hasn't been fleshed out further, but it has links to the earlier

My bad! It's still in my plans to document a HA setup as soon as I can
get out of the swamp :).
In the meantime, I've added relevant links to the software I'd use to
build such a thing. Pretty sure that everyone around here knows them,
but having them there won't do any harm I guess.
Cheers!
