The night will include:

zero-to-Drupal Application with Chef – an introduction to Chef and walkthrough of setting up Chef to deploy and manage a basic Drupal application.

Automation at Promet – A look at how Promet Source is automating the development and delivery of their products and services.

What’s New in Chef 11 – Chef 11 is the next major release of the automation framework.  We’ll explore some of the architectural changes and new features in Chef 11.

Opscode Technical Community Manager, Nathen Harvey, will be on hand and joined by developers from Promet Soure. Come ready to learn more about Chef, do some networking, and find your next step on the path to automation.
