Description-en: systems integration framework - clients
Chef is a systems integration framework and configuration management library
written in Ruby. Chef provides a Ruby library and API that can be used to
bring the benefits of configuration management to an entire infrastructure.
.
Chef can be run as a client (chef-client) to a server, or run as a standalone
tool (chef-solo). Configuration recipes are written in a pure Ruby DSL.
.
This package provides the chef-client, chef-solo, and knife binaries as well
as the Chef library.
