dockercon - building a chef cookbook testing pipeline with drone.io and docker
DESCRIPTION
Building a framework for developing and maintaining chef cookbooks with automated testing and code review using opensource tools. I will walk through setting up Drone.IO (docker based CI) and hooking it up with Github ( regular or enterprise ), securing it behind an Oauth proxy, and configuring appropriate git hooks to automate testing process. I will then show how to use tools such as meez, guard, chefspec, testkitchen to shorten the feedback loop on errors to merely a few seconds, as well as some workflow ideas for gating and merging changes in github for Chef Cookbooks with multiple contributors.TRANSCRIPT

What is Drone ?
http://drone.iohttp://github.com/drone/drone
SaaS or Self HostedWritten in GoUses Docker to run tests/builds
How it works ?
Watches git repo containing `.drone.yml`
Clones repo on `git push`
Creates Docker image
How it works ?
Runs Docker image
Runs a series of commands
Performs action based on result
Why use Drone ?
Same tooling for both Public and Private
Ultra fast - Docker FTW
Opensource
It’s not all rainbows and unicorns
Local user auth only
Single server

As a NoOp I need a development workflow with automated CI for building reliable infrastructure using chef cookbooks for my DevOps environment.

Test your Cookbooks

Shameless plug… Meez
A tool I wrote … to scratch an itch.
generates a chef cookbook with plumbing for all the testing tools in the previous slides … and more.
Generate a testable cookbook
Run tests!
Short feedback loops
Guard: run tests every change
Git Hooks: refuse to commit if failed tests
Self Discipline!
Github Pull Request Workflow
