If you use Trac you may be interested in a plugin I wrote that helps orchestrate chef node deployments in AWS:
http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/CloudPlugin
The plugin can be viewed as a UI and coordination wrapper to pychef and boto (python-based AWS API). I’ve been using it for four months now in production and it has enabled us to get to push-button deployments (including serial to clustered nodes behind a load balancer) amongst other management benefits.
I recognize there’s been some chatter on chef-based orchestration so I look forward to seeing how these efforts can evolve together.
Cheers.
fyi, listed this on
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Community+Pluginsearlier in the
week. Thanks Rob!
