Early for rolling out new releases of the applications I have used capistrano but now we have 10 production servers, and because of the nature of the service is regularly need to add new.
In order to save yourself time in the future, I decided to spend a couple of days to automate the process of connecting the nodes in the system. As soon as I started to write the script for capistrano, on habré there was a note about chef. It always happens!
Read the note, examined the documentation, working on kumbukani, and it worked.
Now the new server I enter in a system with a single command. But there was one not resolved the issue:
The application is actively being developed and needs to be updated quite often. This point also needs to be automated. Can I make
knife bootstrap added information about new servers in Capistrano configs, but I think that this is inappropriate way, and everything can be solved by means of chef. How is that possible?
