What is Chef?
Chef is an infrastructure automation system developed by Opscode that makes it easier to deploy servers and applications to any physical, virtual, or cloud location, regardless of the size of the infrastructure. Each organization consists of one (or more) Workstations, a single server, and each node to be configured and maintained by Chef.
Initial Configuration
First we must add our internal DNS server or configure the FQDN in the file /etc/hosts
