Juju chef cookbook

[Charles Butler]

A few questions:

For clarity - when you say generate manual configuration - is this going to
be a manual provider environment?

Where does the bootstrap server live? is this going to be a separate
service defined in your infrastructure, controlled by chef?


When it comes to deploying the services - what were your thoughts there?
Are these going to be data-attributes to the LWRP where you do something
like:

juju_deploy "mediawiki mysql haproxy".join(",")

- which satisfies the deployment - yet relations would need some more
finesse - as relations as charms mature change, evolve, and can sometimes
confuse juju when you aren't implicit.

juju_relate("mediawiki", "mysql") - would cause a failure as it needs the
scoped :db relation since 2 relations share the same interface but yield
different configuration options.


But it sounds like you'e done your research and you're on the right track.
