Chef infra is a powerful automation platform that transforms infrastructure into code.
- Whether you're operating in the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid environment, Chef Infra automates how infrastructure is configured, deployed and managed across your network, no matter its size.
- Chef workstation is the location where users interact with chef.
- Users can interact with the server using the knife and chef command line tools.
- The chef infra node is installed on each node and is used to configure the node to its desired state.
- Chef server acts as hub for configuration of the data.
- Chef infra sever stores cookbooks, the policies, that are applied to nodes, and metadata that describes the each registered node that is being managed by the Chef.
- Nodes use chef infra client to ask the chef infra server for configuration details, such as recipes, templates, and file distributions.
- The Chef-client then does as much configuration work as possible on the nodes themselves.
- Each node has a chef client software installed, which will pull down the configuration from the central chef server that are applicable to that node.
- This scalable approach distributes the configuration effort throughout the organization.
- Chef Node can be a cloud based virtual server or a physical server in your data center, that is managed using central chef server.
- The main component that need to be present on the node is an agent that will establish communication with the central chef Server. This is called Chef client.
