Chef starterkit and the Editor

The first command for creating the connection is bootstrapping.

Downloaded the starter kit from the hosted chef.

If you download the starter kit for the second time (the .pem in the host will be changed and it will create problems).

note:once you downloaded the starter kit,It may halt your existing connections.

Steps(This is on windows machine)

1      Install the Chef DK  (Google it).

2      Install visual studio code/Atom/Sublime (Every dev activity will be on workstation).


       1      All the practice is down from the powershell.

      How to download visual studio code in Mac?

h    https://code.visualstudio.com/download 

      (we have to install  the extensions to get the required chef plugins).

      We have to tune that Editor (Visual studio code).

       Boiler plate means something which editor gives.

      We have to take the path from the local machine.

       it gives the autogenerated script.

(     something like a basic boilerplate).

       user  'user_name  do

       comment  'comment'

       uid    'uid'

       gid    'gid'

       home  'home_folder'

       shell   'shell'

       password  'password'

       action   :create

       end

   These are all the resources,for some of the resources we get the help like this.

   Note:

   These kind of editors will help us to reduce the Dev time. 

   We have to break our file in to multiple recipe files.

   we can right click and create a new file,which is called as test.rb
