Create a base image for VM installations that includes some of the base requirements that are common across all of our infrastructure
For haproxy our chef provision time is
+ echo 'Wed Jul 8 21:55:21 UTC 2020: Bootstrap finished in 5 minutes and 46 seconds'
It would be great to cut this provisioning time to about 1 minute for the chef run by creating base images that have some core requirements pre-installed.
things I am thinking about:
-
Base packages -
td-agent and plugins
We should do this without secrets if possible, so we may need to create a special environment for this.
