[chef] [chef-dev] Grouping servers for a better overview

[WEINHAPL Andreas < >]

Hi,

 

I just want to create this:

So I will describe it a little bit. In our environment we don’t have only Windos / Ubuntu/Debian /RH servers (just like you J ). So my problem is that we want to create a maintenance role for updating these servers! But here is the problem. If you see the server name doesn’t describe the function or the OS running on it. Is there a way to create “server-groups” which include only windows servers or something like this because with these groups we can easily put a the correct “maintenance-role” (cookbooks for maintenance) to them if they are needed.

 

Best regards

Andreas Weinhapl
