Step Away From That Knife!

Michael Goetz - Tuesday, February 3 12:00-12:40 - B.4.039

We've all been there. In fact, most of us started with 'knife bootstrap'. While our trusty knife has served us well from the beginning, there are better approaches to interacting with infrastructure and the Chef server as you progress. This talk will dive into patterns and practices including source control, automated testing and cookbook deployment...all without knife.

Slides are available on slideshare.
