Chef server stores data to configure and manage nodes effectively. A Chef workstation works as a local Chef repository. Knife is installed on a workstation. Knife is used to upload cookbooks to a Chef server. Cookbook is a collection of recipes. Recipes execute actions that are meant to be automated. A node communicates with a Chef server and gets the configuration data related to it and executes it to install packages or to perform any other operations for configuration management . Chef was developed to handle most critical infrastructure challenges in the current scenario; it makes deployment of server and applications to any physical, virtual, or cloud instances easy. Chef transforms infrastructure to code.
