[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: ordering the roles directory into subdirectories

[Bryan McLellan < >]

It's currently common to apply two roles to each node; one for the type and one for the environment. Inside the role for the job you can nest other roles to clarify configuration.

You could have a file structure like:

roles/
roles/type/type_monitoring.rb
roles/environment/environment_prod.rb
roles/server/server_nagios.rb

Name the roles the same as the filename that contains them. When you upload them using knife from file specify the relative path. Then when using knife you use other tools like grep to filter the output.

knife role list | grep environment
