Chef - Overview

Chef is a tool for automating deployment tasks. The Chef plug-in includes a step that installs Chef and a step that uses Chef to install a Chef node on a system.

In the context of Chef automation, a node represents a computer system. A Chef node file includes a list of Chef recipes and roles. These recipes and roles point to automated tasks to run on the node.

To use this plug-in, first run the Install Chef step. Then, run the Install Chef Node step to configure the target system according to a Chef node file. You can run this step multiple times on the same target system to apply multiple Chef node files.
