Anyone using Chef?

[e100]

I just started using Chef http://www.opscode.com/chef/ and am very impressed with it.

The only thing that is missing in Chef is a plugin for the new Proxmox API.
If we had a plugin that talked to Proxmox API then we could create VMs with Chef and then Manage the VM from Chef.

Imagine being able to run a few commands on your workstation and have a new web server up and running configured exactly the way you want.

Are you using Chef?
Anyone thinking of writing a Proxmox plugin for Chef?

Good morning,

I prefer ansible for such use cases.
Thers are modules for proxmox available and I find it way more user friendly compared with chef/puppet.

I don't create new VMs frequently enough to invest time into automating the process. I just use the Windows and Ubuntu templates I created and then bootstrap Chef via SSH or winrm.

In Proxmox 5 we will hopefully have cloudinit, that will make using templates even easier.

Would be nice to see Proxmox supported in fog.io, having a library to work with would make it much easier to develop a knife plugin.

We use foreman instead. https://www.theforeman.org/
