The ironfan project is an expressive toolset for constructing scalable, resilient architectures. It works in the cloud, in the data center, and on your laptop, and makes your system diagram visible and inevitable.
This repo implements a lint-like tool for your chef cookbooks. It is very rough and probably won't work for you.
You should at the moment probably use Foodcritic instead.
Ironfan, however, is totally awesome and Joe Bob says check it out.
To get started with ironfan, clone the homebase repo and follow the installation instructions. Please file all issues on ironfan issues.
ironfan-scrubby works together with the full ironfan toolset:
-
ironfan-homebase: centralizes the cookbooks, roles and clusters. A solid foundation for any chef user.
-
ironfan gem: core ironfan models, and knife plugins to orchestrate machines and coordinate truth among you homebase, cloud and chef server.
-
ironfan-pantry: Our collection of industrial-strength, cloud-ready recipes for Hadoop, HBase, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Zabbix and more.
-
silverware cookbook: coordinate discovery of services ("list all the machines for
awesome_webapp, that I might load balance them") and aspects ("list all components that write logs, that I might logrotate them, or that I might monitor the free space on their volumes". -
ironfan-ci: Continuous integration testing of not just your cookbooks but your architecture.
-
ironfan wiki: high-level documentation and install instructions
-
ironfan issues: bugs, questions and feature requests for any part of the ironfan toolset.

Note: Ironfan is not compatible with Ruby 1.8. All versions later than 1.9.2-p136 should work fine.
