[chef] Re: Multi-node chef run orchestration

[Ranjib Dey < >]

As noah said, vanilla chef wont do this, you can use any of the orchestration tools. We wrote blender[1,2,3] for the same, you can use it either with ssh or serf based drivers, and can control the order of chef run execution either from a central controller node, or by events (like chef run in node1 drops a serf event, and a serf handler in node2 respond to that event and triggers another chef run).

I have node1 and node2. Each node has chef-client running on it.

Is it possible that after chef-client run on node1 is complete, it can it start/trigger a chef run on node2? 

Does chef have the ability to perform orchestration of runs on the basis of some triggers?

Another thing, I am trying to locate documentation for CHef's Rest calls. Couldnt find any. I am using Chef 11 Open Source.

Any help/pointers on the above questions would be appreciated.
