Cloud Orchestration Training:
Orchestrating Cloud Systems & Workflows with Opscode Chef

Scriptable infrastructure is a new paradigm emerging in the cloud computing era. Momentum afforded by cloud computing technology can easily be lost in traditional IT management and configuration practices. Compute, storage, and networking can be allocated in a matter of seconds using powerful API’s. Once you have these raw resources you need to configure them. That’s where Opscode Chef comes in. This 1-day in-depth course will teach you how to use Chef as a configuration management system. Attendees will learn how to build and deploy apps and services easily using Chef.
