Hi Igor,

When you say that the chef server approach was not scaling, did you consider using "the berkshelf way" approach and having the cookbook build and uploaded via CI server? If so, what issue did you run into that the berkshelf way did not solve?

Best,

Hi Chefs!

We just put up a blog post which details our tooling and workflow around Chef Solo at Airbnb. I thought I'd let the list know, it's here: http://nerds.airbnb.com/making-breakfast-chef-airbnb/

Along with the post, we open-sourced several tools, including stemcell (https://github.com/airbnb/stemcell) which we use to launch and bootstrap instances and optica (https://github.com/airbnb/optica) which we use to keep track of our instances and their last converge state.

I'm happy to answer questions about our approach here if anyone is interested.
