Chef

An agent-based configuration management tool (now Progress Chef) that uses Ruby-based recipes and cookbooks.

Definition

Chef Infra clients pull policies from a Chef Infra Server and converge nodes to desired state. Recipes are grouped into cookbooks and tested with Test Kitchen and InSpec.

Example

package 'nginx' do action :install end

Exam tip

Chef uses Ruby DSL recipes and cookbooks; Puppet uses manifests and modules.
