欢迎光临Chef百科!

Chef（大厨）是一个系统集成框架，致力于将配置管理的好处带入您的整个基础架构。

通过Chef，您可以：

• 通过写代码来管理您的服务器，而不是通过输入命令。 (通过编写Cookbooks)
• 紧密地整合您的应用，数据库，LDAP等， (通过编写Libraries)
• 掌握您整个基础设施的状况（例如“应用服务器运行在什么操作系统上？”，“哪台服务器是主数据库？”），方便地配置您的应用。 (通过使用Search)

随您心之所欲工作
我们为您希望完成的目标提供理想的砖瓦。在一天结束时，它已会成为你易于管理的构架。Chef提供给您随心所往的动力——而不是一开始就告诉您应该做什么。

了解Chef

You want to learn more about Chef? We want to teach you about Chef! How convenient! Lets start at the top, shall we?

Quick Start

Head over to the Quick Start guide, which will walk you through the following:

• Install Chef on your local workstation
• Set up a Chef Repository for storing your cookbooks and other "infrastructure as code."
• Download a cookbook for managing a new Chef Node.

It takes a few assumptions to get you up and running as quickly as possible.

Chef Basics

Once you've gotten yourself situated, it's time to go to Cooking School. In this section, we talk about Nodes, Roles, Cookbooks (and their components: Recipes, Definitions, Attributes, Libraries, File Distribution, Templates and Metadata), Resources, Providers, Search and Data Bags, and the Management Console. This is where you'll learn what each piece of Chef is, and how they all fit together.

Chef Architecture

With all that under your belt, it's time to tackle the dirty secrets of what's happening behind the scenes with Chef Architecture. We'll give you the scoop on the executable parts of Chef - Chef Server, Chef Indexer, Chef Client, Chef Solo, Knife and Shef, and tell you all about Chef's Authentication system. We close with Anatomy of a Chef Run, where we go in-depth with the process by which your systems get configured.
