Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

data-bag-merge Cookbook

This cookbook gives you the ability to store environment and node configuration
in data bags (including encrypted ones).

No cookbook would then need changing to support getting credentials from data bag,
as it will be able to read the merged attributes from the data bag.

Encrypting sensitive environment and node configuration is important, as you
shouldn't allow anyone to access this information, including VCS (Version control systems)

The encryption secret key can then be stored elsewhere, and data bags decrypted
by it at the point of chef converge.

Usage

data-bag-merge::environment

Include data-bag-merge::environment in your node's run_list at the very top
of the run-list and define the node's environment

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "environment": "production",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[data-bag-merge::environment]"
  ]
}

This will access the data bag environments/production, merging it's data into
the node's defaults.

data-bag-merge::node

Include data-bag-merge::node in your node's run_list at the very top of the
run-list and define the node's environment

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "environment": "production",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[data-bag-merge::node]"
  ]
}

This will access the data bag nodes/my_node, merging it's data into the node's
defaults.

definitions

Chef definitions are provided for additionally providing custom data bag merges

e.g.

encrypted_data_bag_merge "custom" do
  data_bag "my-custom-bag"
  item 'my-bag-item'
end
