Webcast Recording: Automating Zenoss Core with Chef

Configuration management, automation and monitoring are a compelling combination. This session will explore the new Zenoss Core cookbook for Chef. The presentation will walk through cookbook and discuss the inner workings, while providing a live demonstration of a Zenoss server being deployed and automatically monitoring Chef-managed nodes. In case you missed the recent interactive webinar or were frustrated by the technical difficulties here is a new version of the recording.

The webcast covers:

• bootstrapping a number of servers and connecting them to the Opscode Platform
• deploying and configuring a Zenoss server automatically, customized for our environment and preferences
• adding new nodes to our environment and start monitoring them automatically
• exploring the functionality of the cookbook and how the various aspects are supported
• demonstrating a number of Chef features that enable this dynamic deployment
• getting real results quickly
• potential future enhancements
