Test Driving your Rails Infrastructure with Chef
summary
Claims that infrastructure can be developed test‑first using Chef and that you can iterate quickly by combining Test Kitchen with unit and integration tests. Toolchain shown: Chef DK, Test Kitchen, ServerSpec, ChefSpec and Foodcritic, Docker/Vagrant or cloud drivers. Workshop builds cookbooks to install packages (vim, apache2), spins containers where tests first fail then a one‑line resource change makes them pass, and culminates in a rails app cookbook that converges and serves the app.
