chef_provisioning example

This repository is a demonstration of how to use chef-provisioning to provision a VM with vagrant and then use infrataster to run a test against it.

server 'server1'
  http 'http://192.168.20.10/' with {:params=>{}, :method=>:get, :headers=>{}}
    responds with 200

server 'server2'
  http 'http://192.168.20.11/' with {:params=>{}, :method=>:get, :headers=>{}}
    responds with 200

server 'testclient'
  can wget from server1
  can wget from server2

Requirements

• Ruby (tested with 1.9.3)
• Vagrant

Usage

Common

bundle install
rake generate

One Test VM

rake test

Three Test VMs (two servers, one client)

rake test_cluster

Updating recipes and retesting

If you make an alteration to the recipes in the recipes/ folder or include a new cookbook in the Berksfile you must run rake update to update the cookbooks in the test environment.

What it does

The cookbook will create a virtual machine using Vagrant. Once created it will converge the apache2 cookbook on the VM. Finally it uses infrataster to check that the web server responds.

How it works

1. Uses chef-provisioning to create the VM defined in provision/provision.rb using the vagrant driver defined in provision/vagrant.rb
2. chef-provisioning converges the run_list as specified in provision/provision.rb
3. rspec runs infrataster the server is defined in spec/spec_helper.rb with the example test in spec/infrataster/default_spec.rb
