The ultimate companion to Vagrant.
Stroller is simply a series of automation tasks to automate the boostrap/setup/usage/sharing of a complete Infrastructure Development Environment with Configuration Management[1].
The goal of this project is simple: provide a common mechanism for Developers and Administrators to develop applications and Infrastructure. This includes workflow to integrate one of those awesome CM tools we talked about earlier (or is down in the references, if you like to save those for last).
You need to hook up to your existing CM database. Edit the provisioner
of your choice located in the config directory to the path where your
manifests/cookbooks/bundles are, and then go and start developing! You
may alternatively clone this repository and setup your own configuration
for your environment.
Edit all of the values in config/autogen_defaults.yml that are
labeled FILL_ME_IN
