I recently wrote about the updates coming soon to Hosted Chef. In particular I described a brand-new permissions manager then scheduled to be deployed the evening of 5/8. This deploy did not occur. We chose to re-schedule due to the last minute discovery of a subtle and hard-to-isolate bug arising from the interaction between Hosted Chef back-end systems.

However, I am still pretty new at all this, so I really recommend the # chef irc channel on freenode. One of the guys there seemed pretty helpful.
For reading cookbooks, I recommend starting with the Ruby files in the recipes folder, and then looking at the templates and attributes to figure out what data you'll need to set in the role or node.
For the 37s cookbooks, I recommend treading carefully. Some of them are for HARD CORE servers. The 37s mysql one, for example, does way more …

…New Finds: @ foodfight is an interesting and informative Chef oriented DevOps podcast you may enjoy if that's the sort of thing you enjoy, which you probably do. From which I learned from fellow Way of Kings aficionado Brandon Burton about a new deep systems podcast called Real Talk by James Golick and Joe Damato, who want to talk about things concrete, not like that Hacker News BS.

We've included the usual Brightbox Ruby deployment stack and our "next generation" Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.3 packages, as well as the latest Phusion passenger. A significant change from Lucid-based Brightboxes is that Ruby 1.9.3 is now the default , as Ruby 1.8.7 is end-of-life from June 2013. If you still require 1.8.7, the included ruby-switch tool makes it simple …
