Hey Arusha folks, we will be meeting this Wednesday at AISE Tanzania in the Twende Workshop in Nanenane-Njiro, Arusha. If you are interested please be free to join us, you can bring your friends are well. This months we will be discussing server provisioning and automating using Vagrant and Chef (yeah there'll be a lot of cookbooks and recipes).
If you want to know how to set up server machines, automating application deployment, load balancing, deploying in multiple servers the way professionals do, this is a 'can't miss' opportunity for you (System Admins).
Arusha Coders is a community for web, software, and mobile developers to network and share ideas. If you need more information just leave your comment.
zech Thanks for bringing Chef to my attention. I've been a Vagrant and Puppet person, but looks like Chef has some good stuffs; I'll definitely give it a try sometime.

Puppet is a great as well, but Chef has the sweetness of Ruby (obviously there's a steeper learning curve there) but once you get the concepts, i think it gives you more control,
I use another tool called Sunzi for small project deployments, as Chef and/or Puppet may look like an overkill for small deployments, either way they are all great.
