“This is the first article in a three-part series on managing LAMP environments (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) with Chef (a configuration management tool).
The series covers using Chef to provision a development environment on a virtual machine with Vagrant and VirtualBox, and a production environment in the cloud with Amazon EC2. Prior knowledge of how to manually configure a LAMP stack is assumed–this tutorial shows how to automate the process, but doesn’t explain the configuration options in any detail.”
