From Solo to Happy: Migrating Chef Solo to Chef Server/Automate
summary
Concrete plan to move a fleet from Chef Solo to Chef Server / Automate on AWS with OpsWorks integration. Claims a four step migration: upload cookbooks to server, import nodes and enroll them, and set up environments and roles, followed by configure Delivery pipelines to push tested cookbook changes. Demonstrates using Chef Automate for visibility, convergence reporting, and history so failures are traceable, and shows that once nodes are enrolled reconciliation runs keep instances in the declared state.
