Provision your virtual machines with Chef Client and register them with your Chef Server

Chef is an automation platform that transforms infrastructure into code. Stop thinking in terms of physical and virtual servers. With Chef, your real asset is the code that brings those servers and the services they provide to life.

Chef lets you choose from a library of thousands of widely used and maintained cookbooks -- packages of Chef code that Chef can use to deploy a web server, database, etc., not to mention your own or others' applications. Popular cookbooks include:

• Web Servers: IIS, Apache, Nginx
• Databases: SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL
• Frameworks: Node, Rails
• Cloud / Virtualization : Microsoft Azure, Docker
• Source control: Git, Mercurial, Subversion
• Content management: Drupal, Wordpress

Whether your network is in the cloud, on-site, or a hybrid, Chef can automate how you configure, deploy and scale your servers and applications, whether you manage 5 servers, 5,000 servers or 500,000 servers.
