Announcing Chef
By Jesse Robbins
View Comments
I’m pleased to announce the release of Chef, a systems integration framework that brings the benefits of configuration management to your entire infrastructure.
With Chef, you can:
- Manage your servers by writing code, not by running commands.
- Integrate tightly with your applications, databases, LDAP directories, and more.
- Easily
configure applications that require knowledge about your entire
infrastructure.
A work in progress
Chef is young – though it’s in production use
in several places, and can already help you solve many real world
problems. We have big ambitions for it, and we’ll be making lots of
improvements. There are still rough edges, and we decided it was better to
release early than release perfect – especially considering how much is already being done with Chef.
We’ll have more announcements in the coming weeks. Until then, please look take a look at the Chef wiki.
