Book Description
By finelybook
Chef is a configuration management tool that turns IT infrastructure into code. Chef provides tools to manage systems at scale. With this book,you will learn how to use the same tools that companies such as Facebook,Riot Games,and Ancestry.com use to manage and scale their infrastructure.
This book takes you on a comprehensive tour of Chef’s functionality,ranging from its core features to advanced development. You will be brought up to speed with what’s new in Chef and how to set up your own Chef infrastructure for individuals,or small or large teams. Once you have the core components,you will get to grips with bootstrapping hosts to then develop and apply cookbooks.
