First time doing the workshop. 10 years as sysadmin.

Infra testing / automation / dev is the same as software dev was in 1995. Ops aspires to better.

Three things are nessesary to test the cookbook:

• A place to store the artifact
• chef-client with access
• a target server running same OS as prod
