Dynamically loading chef recipies from URLs
- by andy
I'm deploying a web app on AWS.
I intend to use chef to build AMIs which I'll then put into production.
I want to have Chef monitor a URL stored in simpleDB. The URL would point to a tarball in S3. There would be different URLs, one for a config tarball, one for a code tarball. When I update the URL in simpleDB, I want chef to spot this and pull in and apply the configs/deploy the code.
Is this possible? Has anything like this been done before or would I need to roll my own code?
I think Chef can monitor URLs, but how would be the best way of getting it to load that URL from simpleDB?
