Orchestrates AWS cloud resources using boto and pychef

Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.

WARNING! This plugin is in alpha.

I recommend you not use this plugin yet on production instances. Although you likely won't lose ec2 instances or chef data, it's still quite immature. It would be best to try out on dev instances to help test the plugin and generate ideas for new features.

Description

This plugin is meant to fill the coordination gap between AWS and Chef, especially:

• Launch an ec2 instance and apply one or more chef roles
• Terminate ec2 instances and delete its chef node

There are additional features and quite possibly more to come, but my intention is to keep the scope down to what's needed to orchestrate between AWS and Chef (and not re-implement either the AWS Management Console or the Chef Server webui).

This plugin relies heavily upon ​boto and ​pychef. Special thanks to coderanger for his responsiveness on PyChef.
