Gem Version

Chef Sugar Extensions useful if you use Rackspace as a provider

Usage

Include it in your Chef recipes:

include_recipe 'chef-sugar-rackspace::default'

Rackconnect

Rackconnect helpers require the Rackconnect Ohai plugin to be installed.

  • rackconnected? - return true if the node is rackconnected

####Note If the rackconnect plugin is not installed but the helper is called rackconnected? will return false. This should not be an issue in most cases but could cause unexepected results on a rackconnected server.

rackconnected?

unless rackconnected?
  include_recipes 'firewall'
end

IP

  • cloud_network_ip - return the node's ip from a Rackspace cloud network
  • best_rackspace_ip_for - determine the best IP address for a given node, preferring a cloud network IP address
  • cloud_networks - return Rackspace cloud networks as a Hash with each key being a cloud network label

cloud_network_ip

node.set['redis']['bind'] = cloud_network_ip

cloud_network_ip takes an optional argument of the Cloud Network Label

node.set['redis']['bind'] = cloud_network_ip('mycloudnetwork')

best_rackspace_ip_for

Prefers a connected Rackspace cloud network IP but falls through to using the default Chef Sugar best_ip_for() method if one does not exist.

memcached = search('node', 'tags:memcached').first

memcahed_ip = best_rackspace_ip_for(memcached)

cloud_networks

private_networks = cloud_networks
