[chef] Chef server outside firewall

[Bridger Larson < >]

Hi everyone,

 

I am fairly new to chef and I am trying to figure out where to place my chef server.

 

I am using opensource chef and I am wondering if there is an issue with my chef server being outside of my firewall so my AWS servers can contact it and my servers inside my firewall will be able to access it.  My chef workstations will also be inside the firewall.  Would this cause any problems with my nodes contacting the chef server?  Are there any advantages or disadvantages to putting my chef server in AWS?

 

 

Thanks in advance,
