148
+
149
+ <p>Environments provide a means to apply policies to hosts in your
150
+ infrastructure based on business function. For example, you may have a
151
+ separate copy of your infrastructure called "dev" that runs the latest
152
+ version of your application and should use the newest versions of your
153
+ cookbooks when configuring systems, and a production instance of your
154
+ infrastructure where you wish to update code and cookbooks in a more
155
+ controlled fashion. In Chef, this function is implemented with
156
+ <em>environments</em>.</p>
157
+
158
+ <p>Environments contain two major components: a set of cookbook version
159
+ constraints and environment attributes.</p>
160
+
161
+ <h2 id="SYNTAX">SYNTAX</h2>
162
+
163
+ <p>A cookbook version constraint is comprised of a <em>cookbook name</em> and a
164
+ <em>version constraint</em>. The <em>cookbook name</em> is the name of a cookbook in
165
+ your system, and the <em>version constraint</em> is a String describing the
166
+ version(s) of that cookbook allowed in the environment. Only one
167
+ <em>version constraint</em> is supported for a given <em>cookbook name</em>.</p>
168
+
169
+ <p>The exact syntax used to define a cookbook version constraint varies
170
+ depending on whether you use the JSON format or the Ruby format. In the
171
+ JSON format, the cookbook version constraints for an environment are
172
+ represented as a single JSON object, like this:</p>
173
+
174
+ <pre><code>{"apache2": "&gt;= 1.5.0"}
175
+ </code></pre>
176
+
177
+ <p>In the Ruby format, the cookbook version contraints for an environment
178
+ are represented as a Ruby Hash, like this:</p>
179
+
180
+ <pre><code>{"apache2" =&gt; "&gt;= 1.5.0"}
181
+ </code></pre>
182
+
183
+ <p>A <em>version number</em> is a String comprised of two or three digits
184
+ separated by a dot (.) character, or in other words, strings of the form
185
+ "major.minor" or "major.minor.patch". "1.2" and "1.2.3" are examples of
186
+ valid version numbers. Version numbers containing more than three digits
187
+ or alphabetic characters are not supported.</p>
188
+
189
+ <p>A <em>version constraint</em> String is composed of an <em>operator</em> and a
190
+ <em>version number</em>. The following operators are available:</p>
191
+
192
+ <dl>
193
+ <dt><code>= VERSION</code></dt><dd>Equality. Only the exact version specified may be used.</dd>
194
+ <dt><code>&gt; VERSION</code></dt><dd>Greater than. Only versions greater than <code>VERSION</code> may be used.</dd>
195
+ <dt><code>&gt;= VERSION</code></dt><dd>Greater than or equal to. Only versions equal to VERSION or greater
196
+ may be used.</dd>
197
+ <dt><code>&lt; VERSION</code></dt><dd>Less than. Only versions less than VERSION may be used.</dd>
198
+ <dt><code>&lt;= VERSION</code></dt><dd>Less than or equal to. Only versions lesser or equal to VERSION may
199
+ be used.</dd>
200
+ <dt><code>~&gt; VERSION</code></dt><dd>Pessimistic greater than. Depending on the number of components in
201
+ the given VERSION, the constraint will be optimistic about future
202
+ minor or patch revisions only. For example, <code>~&gt; 1.1</code> will match any
203
+ version less than <code>2.0</code> and greater than or equal to <code>1.1.0</code>,
204
+ whereas <code>~&gt; 2.0.5</code> will match any version less than <code>2.1.0</code> and
205
+ greater than or equal to <code>2.0.5</code>.</dd>

- <p>Show a specific role.</p>
157
+ <p>Roles provide a mechanism to group repeated configuration settings.
158
+ Roles are data structures that contain <strong>default_attributes</strong>, and
159
+ <strong>override_attributes</strong>, which are nested hashes of configuration
160
+ settings, and a <strong>run_list</strong>, which is an ordered list of recipes and
161
+ roles that should be applied to a host by chef-client.</p>
162
+
163
+ <p><strong>default_attributes</strong> will be overridden if they conflict with a value
164
+ on a node that includes the role. Conversely, <strong>override_attributes</strong>
165
+ will override any values set on nodes that apply them.</p>
166
+
167
+ <p>When <strong>chef-client</strong>(8) configures a host, it will "expand" the
168
+ <strong>run_list</strong> included in that host's node data. The expansion process
169
+ will recursively replace any roles in the run_list with that role's
170
+ run_list.</p>
