We just pushed a new release of Solo, our Rails in the cloud platform. This release is a big one and includes an exciting feature that we’ve been working on for a while. This release allows you to manage your own custom chef recipes in addition to our default set.
<p>This means that anything we have not yet automated, you can automate yourself. Making Solo a fully programmable deployment platform capable of running pretty much <strong>anything</strong> you can imagine and cook up a chef recipe for.</p>
<p>This release also includes many bug fixes and ui tweaks and has a gem you can install to interact with Solo from the command line when you don’t want to go into the web interface.</p>
<p>Last week I forgot to blog but we also released a full cron job management interface you can see here:</p>

<p>And here is a screencast for getting started with custom chef recipes and Solo:</p>

<p>We’ve settled into a nice schedule of development here and will be releasing new solo features every monday, so stay tuned for what’s next!</p>
