Ignite: Introduction to Habitat
summary
Habitat is a Chef product that packages application automation so each deployment includes a supervisor per app that listens for config changes and exposes a robust HTTP API. Built-in service discovery, clustering strategies like leader–follower replication, and secrets via libsodium enable production patterns without replacing Docker or Mesosphere. Packages are immutable, auditable, and portable with a clean build environment and an export to Docker or Mesosphere option; a live web demo shows these features working end to end.
