4.2.2.1. Deployment with Chef

With the CoreMedia Blueprint workspace, CoreMedia provides you not only with RPMs but also with a prefabricated automated way to set up a whole system from scratch using Chef as a provisioning tool.

The whole idea of using Chef is to fully automate the installation and upgrade process and integrate its configuration infrastructure as code into the workspace. Bundled together, installation configuration and project code, you can reduce the risk of not being able to set up a system specific state from scratch after a breakdown.

With Chef, you do not have to install and configure all services manually on each machine by yourself, but Chef will take care of it. This includes not only the installation of CoreMedia Digital Experience Platform 8 services, but also third-party software like MongoDB and MySQL.
