January 15, 2019 1 minute read

Chef is a popular open source infrastructure automation framework that has been popularized with the whole DevOps movement.
In a nutshell, Chef has the notion of Recipe and Cookbook. A Recipe is written using a Ruby based DSL to describe how to install and configure software(s) on a host. And as the name suggest, a Cookbook is a collection of related Recipes.
