Tool of the Day: chef 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 is a DevOps tool used for configuring cloud services or to streamline the task of configuring a company's internal servers. Chef automatically sets up and tweaks theoperating systems and programs that run in massive data centers. Chef can run using a client/server model, or on a consolidated configuration named "chef-solo". Chef can be integrated with Cloud-based platforms such as Rackspace and Amazon EC2. Traditionally, Chef is used to manage Linux but later versions support running on Windows as well. current version: 10.16.2 Home page: www.opscode.com/chef/ regards, dhanasekar _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
