About Chef

• IT cos who follow the DevOps philosophy of
  application and infrastructure management have
  Chef in their kitty for sure.
• Chef is an automation platform that transforms
  infrastructure into code. Chef enables conversion
  of infrastructure into code and helps manage
  con?gurations, put them together in recipes,
  track it like source code and con?gure your
  servers.

How it works

• The following diagram shows the relationships
  between the various elements of Chef the nodes,
  the server, and the workstations. These elements
  work together to provide the chef-client the
  information and instruction that it needs so that
  it can do its job.

Functions of Server, Nodes and Workstations

• Chef comprises of three main elements a server,
  one (or more) nodes, and at least one
  workstation.
• The server acts as a hub that is available to
  every node in the organization.
• Ensures right cookbooks (and recipes) are
  available, right policies are applied, the node
  object used during the previous chef-client run
  is available to the current chef-client run, and
  that all of the nodes that will be maintained by
  the chef-client are registered and known to the
  server.
• The workstation is the location from which
  cookbooks (and recipes) are authored, policy data
  (such as roles, environments, and data bags) are
  defined, data is synchronized with the chef-repo,
  and data is uploaded to the server.
• Each node contains a chef-client that performs
  the various infrastructure automation tasks that
  each node requires.

7
Cookbooks

• Cookbooks are treated as a separate component
  (alongside the server, nodes, and the
  workstations).
• Generally, cookbooks are authored and managed
  from the workstation, moved to the server, and
  then are pulled down to nodes by the chef-client
  during each chef-client run.

• Neev is a partner to license and resell Opscode
  products and services.
