Managing MySQL with Chef
Setting up database resources on the cloud is something that lends itself well to being automated. One such solution to this automation is Chef. Chef is an open-source systems integration framework and is used for automating system deployment on the cloud. Learning chef is important to knowing how to take advantage of it's power, and is something especially important for DBAs to become familiarized with and comfortable using in today's cloud environments which are becoming much more commonplace.
The purpose of this talk is to show DBAs and other database users how chef can be used to deploy database resources -- from the vantage point of a DBA who has had to learn Chef from scratch. Learn how provisioning servers, migrate system changes and perform database tuning in an automated manner, and how this can make your job as a DBA much easier as well as extend your skillset.
