This repository contains all infrastructure automation code that we use to set up and configure servers, virtual machines, and applications for Kosmos hosted services.
Chef cookbooks are written in Ruby, and based on Chef Infra resources. Some cookbooks contain integration test suites based on Test Kitchen.
Note: Manual configuration of servers and applications is highly discouraged, and can be overwritten or lost without notice!

"Expired" TLS certificates
If you encounter expired TLS certificates during a Chef run (e.g. for remote files), the issue is likely that the certificate has been issued by Let's Encrypt and Chef is still using its own, outdated CA cert store (see here for example).
As a hotfix, you can manually remove the "DST Root CA X3" cert from
/opt/chef/embedded/ssl/cert.pem
on the machine you're trying to converge.
