(well, mostly)

• Fast(er)

The Bad

• Data bags
• A bit convoluted

The Ugly

• Chef metaphor
• Chef Server

The Repo

chef-repo

cookbooks

Hosted Chef

• nodes
• clients
• users
• check it

Knife

            $ knife node run_list add recipe[jive::turkey]
            $ knife ec2 create [...]
          

Chef Solo

            $ chef-solo -c ~/solo.rb -j ~/node.json
