Conclusion

I hope you’ve found this an informative and challenging book, and that you’ve been inspired to try developing your infrastructure in a test-driven way, using Chef. Throughout the book, I’ve been aware that there is a vast amount to fit into a very small space, and that Cucumber-Chef, as a tool and platform, is very young and in constant flux. This is a very new path we’re treading, and these are radical and adventurous ideas, but it’s my hope that in a few year’s time, the practices outlined in this book will be viewed as mainstream and non-negotiable.

Good luck!
