It depends on what you need to automate. You could use Jenkins to automatically kick off chef deployments in various environments, depending on whether certain criteria have been fulfilled -- for example, perhaps you have an updated code base that passes all the unit tests, integration tests, and regression tests, and so now you need to push it out to your Staging environment so that you can do load testing. You could also use Chef to automate deployment of Jenkins servers, or perhaps just the slaves. They are both very flexible tools, and they can interface in a variety of ways. > We new to chef.
