What is Chef?

Recipes and Cookbooks that describe Infrastructure as Code.

Chef enables people to easily build & manage complex & dynamic applications at massive scale

• New model for describing infrastructure that promotes reuse

• Programmatically provision and configure

• Reconstruct business from code repository, data backup, and bare metal resources

Chef is an automation platform for developers & systems engineers to continuously define, build, and manage infrastructure.

CHEF USES:

“”

• Programmatically provision and configure

• Treat like any other code base

• Reconstruct business from code repository, data backup, and bare metal resources.
