 chefignore

 config

 cookbooks

environments

 roles

Go to   >> config directory

cd  config    >>      go to   vi spork-config.yml

 .

 ..

 code_generator

 rubocop.yml

spork-config.yml

spork-config.yml-template

vi spork-config.yml

default_environments:

  -  development      (these are the  environments)

environment_xxxxxxxxx:

  production_xxxxxxxxx:

     -   production-west bengal

     -   production-mumbai

     -   production-delhi

    show_name: false

Note:

when we use this commands:

1)Knife spork commands

2)knife promote commands

  1. knife spork commands

knife spork omni   cookbook name  (when we use the omni, you no need to mention about the specific environment, it goes to the default environment).

  2.  knife promote commands

once the cookbook finished testing, you need to promote the cookbook to the different environments.(for example:Dev,staging  and production)

when we use the certain specific environment,to promote (update the cookbook),we use the knife promote commands.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

Note:

We have to install this gem,inorder to make knife spork commands  to work

chef gem install knife-spork
