Chef is a configuration management tool written in Ruby. It uses a pure-Ruby, domain-specific language (DSL) for writing system configuration "recipes" or "cookbooks". Chef was written by Opscode and is released as open source under the Apache License 2.0.
Chef can run using a client/server model, or on a consolidated configuration named "chef-solo".
