chef

We have hosted the application chef in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about chef:

Chef Infra (often just “Chef”) is an automation/configuration management platform used to manage infrastructure at scale. It allows administrators to define system configurations in code (“recipes” and “cookbooks”) using a Ruby-based DSL, then enforce those configurations across a fleet of nodes. Chef supports both client-server mode and standalone (solo) mode. It helps with provisioning, compliance, automation, and ensuring consistency of environments (servers, cloud VMs, etc.).

Features:

• Write infrastructure configurations as code using recipes and cookbooks (declare resources to ensure system state)
• Mode flexibility: client-server or standalone “chef-solo” for smaller or more isolated environments
• Support for a wide variety of platforms and operating systems for managed nodes, including Windows, various Linux distros, macOS, etc.
• Integration with cloud providers for provisioning (AWS, Azure, etc.), automating deployments and configuration in those environments
• System for managing dependencies, versioning of cookbooks, testing tools (Test Kitchen etc.)
• Compliance, audit, drift detection (detect when systems diverge from desired configuration)

Programming Language: Ruby.
