We don't have HA documentation right now (though we cover this during trainings for customers), but we'll probably add some in the near future (it's not that we don't want to, more so that I haven't found the time to publish it just yet).

If your nonetheless want to use the Scalr cookbook yourself (and not use the cookbook or Chef binaries that come with the installer), then you can find it here: https://github.com/Scalr/installer-ng/tree/master/files/scalr-server-cookbooks/scalr-server Finally, please note that there are more config files than just the config.yml. If you want to execute Chef yourself, I very strongly recommend you nonetheless use our cookbook.
