Corus Cookbook

This cookbook provides the following recipes:

• default: performs the Corus installation.
• avis_rpm: installs Avis.

Notes

• The cookbook installs the Linux package.
• Typically, you would install Avis or RabbitMQ on separate hosts, and modify the Avis/RabbitMQ connection URLs accordingly at the Corus level.

Requirements

• java - depends on the java cookbook for starting Corus and generating the keystore used for SSL.
• tar - depends on the tar cookbook for downloading and installing the Corus package.
