Puppet to chef converter

Is there any convertor which converts Puppet scripts to Chef?

I found ruby script which converts Chef scripts to Puppet https://github.com/relistan/chef2puppet but I need puppet2chef.

Solution

  • UPDATE: So, Blueprint is abandonware (last update in 2013). I think the answer to this question is, sadly, now: No.

    So, I do not believe there is a 'simple script' way available yet to do this conversion. What I've done in testing is to use Blueprint to do the following:

    • Install a fresh node with Puppet for the node type you wish to "convert".
    • Allow Blueprint to scan the resulting server.
    • Use Blueprint to export either Chef or Puppet code.
    • Repeat for each node type you have defined in Puppet (or Chef, if you go the other direction).

    From the Blueprint README.md:

    Blueprint reverse-engineers servers.

Easy configuration management.
Detect relevant packages, files, and source installs.
Generate reusable server configs.
Convert blueprints to Puppet or Chef or CFEngine 3.
No DSLs, no extra servers, no workflow changes.

    I hope I'm proven wrong, and there is a soup-to-nuts script to just "convert" from Puppet to Chef. I'd use it in a heartbeat! :) This method will at least get you started.
