LinuxCon + CloudOpen + ContainerCon NA 2015

Chef is a popular configuration management system used for system automation, that promotes the idea of infrastructure as code. In this presentation I'll walk through how we are using LXC to perform integration testing of our entire infrastructure automation code base, and then re-using the build/test artifacts to compose developer workstation. I'll be covering a) current state of chef-lxc integration and how we are using it, b) how our build-ci infrastructure was extended to build and test our chef/automation code base using LXC, and c) how the test artifacts are served via traditional debain repos to build developer workstations (i.e. the LXC rootfs packaging gears)
