Beyond the Cookbook: Using Workflow to Bring Continuous Delivery to Any Project
summary
Shows how Chef Workflow’s build cookbook plus the standard delivery truck run CI/CD for non-cookbook projects, driven by delivery review from Git. Demo compiles and packages Apache from its Git repo, publishes a tar to a web repo, sets environment attrs, then runs smoke and functional tests against deployed nodes — all succeeding in the demo. Notes: build recipes run non‑privileged on different build nodes (no preserved state); used at scale (~100 projects).
