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.
