[chef] Re: AWS Spot instances for Integration-Testing Cookbooks on Github

["Jeff Byrnes" < >]

Torben,

We've been doing this with some of our cookbooks for the last few months, and in fact, have a talk on it at the Chef Boston meetup group in Sept.

Just getting going with my day right now; I'll follow-up this with more details & examples.

Hi everybody,

having some cookbooks hosted on Github and using kitchen-ci for
integration-testing them, I would like to have the kitchen-ci tests
run on every commit / push.

With travis-ci (which I'm using for foodcritic / chefspec) this does
not work unfortunately, since it prohibits creation of nested
containers.

So I'm now considering to spin up an AWS spot instance during the
travis-ci build to run the integration tests on.

Anyone doing this already?

Any pointers or suggestions to get me kick-started are heartily welcome :-)

Cheers,
Torben
