The ey-cloud-recipes repository is a collection of chef cookbooks that setup and configure commonly used tools for ruby applications, as well as cookbooks that can be used to modify parts of the EY Cloud environment.
Note: These cookbooks are for reference, and do not indicate a supported status. For Gentoo 2016 or v5 stack, please see documentation for Migrating Custom Chef Recipes from V4 to V5.

A full guide to customizing your EY Cloud environment with chef can be found at the following URL:
The following pages may also be of some use:
Below is a list of chef documentation pages that you may find useful, especially if you are just getting started with chef:
There is also a great RailsCast on the use of chef-solo (however, it is only available to RailsCasts Pro subscribers):
We use chef-solo on EY Cloud. If you are using the new Gentoo 2012 stack, then you will be using chef 10. If you are running on an older version of the stack, then it will be chef 0.6.
You can view the recipes that have been uploaded to an environment in two ways:
ey recipes download
, which will be downloaded into a directory called cookbooks
in the current directory./etc/chef-custom/recipes/cookbooks
, which is the location that your custom cookbooks are located.Next to each instance, on the dashboard, there are two links entitled "Base" and "Custom", the "Custom" link will take you to the chef log for the last run of your custom chef recipes, for that instance.
The chef log for your custom recipes is also located on each instance at /var/log/chef.custom.log
