About

Progress Chef, formerly known as Chef, is a configuration management tool primarily used to streamline the task of configuring and maintaining a company's servers. Written in Ruby and Erlang, it utilizes a pure-Ruby, domain-specific language (DSL) for crafting system configuration 'recipes'. Chef offers solutions for both small and large-scale systems and integrates seamlessly with major cloud-based platforms including Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud, OpenStack, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Rackspace, enabling automatic provisioning and configuration of new machines. It operates within the domains of Configuration Management, System Administration, Network Management, Cloud Management, Continuous Delivery, DevOps, and Infrastructure as Code.
