<blockquote>
[https://github.com/chef/chef Chef] is a configuration management tool. It is used to streamline the task of configuring and maintaining a company's server to automatically provision and configure new machines.
 
It uses a pure-Ruby domain-specific language for writing system configuration "recipes".
The user writes "recipes" that describe how Chef manages server applications, utilities and how they are to be configured. These recipes describe a series of resources that should be in a particular state : packages that should be installed, services that should be running, or files that should be written.
 
Chef was created by [https://www.systeminit.com/blog-devops-without-papercuts/ Adam Jacob] as a tool for his consulting company, whose business model was to build end-to-end server deployment tools.
