Planning and Installing Chef

Brought by: Pluralsight

Overview

Using Chef to define and configure your systems requires an understanding of what’s possible as well as the tools you will have at your disposal. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals to develop configuration management solutions with Chef.

This course delves in to the process of planning for and installing Chef server. We will provision a self-contained lab environment in Azure using Azure Resource Manager (ARM), install and configure an administrative workstation using the Chef Development Kit (ChefDK), and configure client servers using basic Chef recipes and cookbooks, which we will create during the course.
