[chef] Where to store data bags

[Cliff Pracht < >]

Hello,

I apologize if this has already been discussed on the list.

We are throwing around the idea of storing databags within the cookbook (that needs a particular settings).    We would have one databag per cookbook and one databag item per environment.   This seems like a good idea because the data that a said cookbook needs would be versioned within the cookbook and when it changes would require it to go through the SDLC.   Without this, someone could change data without using SDLC. 

Whether it is a Library or an app cookbooks, it would follow this same model. 

What are some thoughts of this? And how are people solving this today?

Thanks,

Cliff
