Tool of the Day: chef
Chef is a configuration management tool written in Ruby. It uses
a pure-Ruby, domain-specific language (DSL) for writing system
configuration "recipes" or "cookbooks".
Chef was written by Opscode and is released as open source under
the Apache License 2.0. Chef is a DevOps tool used for configuring
cloud services or to streamline the task of configuring a company's
internal servers. Chef automatically sets up and tweaks theoperating
systems and programs that run in massive data centers.
Chef can run using a client/server model, or on a consolidated
configuration
named "chef-solo". Chef can be integrated with Cloud-based platforms such
as Rackspace and Amazon EC2. Traditionally, Chef is used to manage Linux
but later versions support running on Windows as well.
