[chef] Rebuild my chef !

[Jorge Espada < >]

Ohai Chefs!

At my org we still have a monolithic chef-repo, with very little testing.. lets say the old way, being said that

I'm looking for advice/comments on how to rebuild this. Things that I think are no brainer:

- Have a chef server per environment: hosted chef for prod, ideally will be good to have for the others env too, but monay is the constrain here so OS for non prod env

- Use a git repo per cookbook

- use berkshelf

- test all the things (foodcritic, test-kitchen, chef-spec, mini-test)

Still I can't decide what to do with environment regarding cookbooks, have a branch per environment, like master(prod), test, dev or use

another method

Any other comments, ideas, recommendations are welcome

Thanks for being an awesome community :)
