[chef] Re: chef-client run on large number of nodes

There's a splay option you can set in order to offset the run times per node. 

if you're running chef 11 it's been proven that it can handle thousands of nodes on a single chef server with no performance inpacts.

Hi

 

I have my own chef server installed and I am going to add some 1000 of nodes to my server.

I wonder if chef-client run on all the nodes after a specified period of time repeatedly it may result in lower performance of chef server.

Can I automate the chef-client run only after I update & save the run-list on server. I mean only when I will update the run-list my chef server should notify the nodes to run chef-client at its end.

 

Thanks & Regards,
