I’m trying to apply a recipe on different nodes whose environment is ‘production’. If there are 100 nodes whose environment say ‘production’, then I need to apply all configuration on all the nodes.
Help me how can I do it.
if you are running one common recipe on all of your nodes, then something like this should work…
if node.chef_environment == 'production'
include your_production_recipe
endI will answer your question in two parts:
-
Assign particular role to all the nodes present in production environment: Use of knife exec might be helpful. This is how you can use it:
Write following ruby code and save it to .chef/scripts/production_env.rb: nodes.transform("chef_environment:production"){|n| puts n.run_list.add("role[role1]"); n.save } Execute following command from chef repo: knife exec production_env.rb
This will add role1 to all the nodes which are present in test environment.
2 Run chef Client in all the production environment nodes: I am also struggling to find this solution. Possible choices are as follows:
a. Schedule chef-client run in all the servers.
b. Use chef push jobs
c. If the servers are Linux machines: use knife ssh
d. If the servers are windows machines: use knife winrm
Hope this will help.
