Chef Deep Dive

A chef is an open-source configuration management tool that uses Ruby to develop essential building blocks like recipes and cookbooks. It is an automation tool that converts infrastructure to code. It focuses on writing code instead of using the manual process. This feature enables Chef to manage and configure multiple systems with ease. The code can be tested and continuously deployed using Chef.

Chef supports various platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud Platform, OpenStack, and SoftLayer, etc.
