Chef is a systems integration framework, built to bring the benefits of
configuration management to your entire infrastructure. With Chef, you can:
* Manage your servers by writing code, not by running commands.
* Integrate tightly with your applications, databases, LDAP directories, and
more.
* Easily configure applications that require knowledge about your entire
infrastructure ("What systems are running my application?" "What is the
current master database server?")
