Acknowledgments

Writing this book was an order of magnitude harder than I could ever have imagined. I think this is largely because along with writing a book, I was also writing software. Trying to do both things concurrently took up vast quantities of time, for which many people are owed a debt of gratitude for their patience and support.

Firstly, to my wonderful family, Helena, Corin, Wilfred, Atalanta, and Melisande (all of whom appear in the text)youve been amazing, and I look forward to seeing you all a bit more. Helena has worked tirelessly: proofreading, editing, and improving throughout.

Secondly, to my friends at Opscodespecifically Joshua, Seth, and Dan, without whose wisdom and guidance I would never have developed the understanding of Chef I have now. Opscode: youve built an amazing product, and if my book helps people learn to enjoy and benefit from it in the way I have, Ill be delighted.

Thirdly, to Lindsay Holmwoodyou first got me thinking about this, and without your frequent advice and companionship, I dont think this book would ever have been written.

Fourthly, to Jon Ramsey, co-author of Cucumber-Chefits always a pleasure to pair with you, and Cucumber-Chef is much better thanks to you. Thanks are also due to John Arundel and Ian Chilton, who acted as technical reviewers.

And finally to Trang, Brian, and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, earliest adopters and enthusiastic advocates of Cucumber-Chef (and my method of doing Infrastructure as Code).

Chapter 1. Infrastructure As Code

When deploying and administering large infrastructures, it is still common to think in terms of individual machines rather than view an entire infrastructure as a combined whole. This standard practice creates many problems, including labor-intensive administration, high cost of ownership, and limited generally available knowledge or code usable for administering large infrastructures.

-- Steve Traugott and Joel Huddleston, TerraLuna LLC

In todays computer industry, we still typically install and maintain computers the way the automotive industry built cars in the early 1900s. An individual craftsman manually manipulates a machine into being, and manually maintains it afterwards.
