Chef

Chef is a Configuration Management Tool written in Ruby and Erlang to achieve speed, scale, and consistency. System configuration recipes can be written in pure-ruby or DSL. Chef is used to streamline the tasks for configuring and managing servers and can integrate with cloud-based platforms, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and so on. It utilizes the Master–Agent model and the installation requires a workstation to control the master.
