Chef 是一個系統(tǒng)集成框架，為整個架構(gòu)提供配置管理功能，有了 Chef 你可以：

• Manage your servers by writing code, not by running commands. (via Cookbooks)

• Integrate tightly with your applications, databases, LDAP  directories, and more. (via Libraries)

• Easily configure applications that require knowledge about your  entire infrastructure ("What systems are running my application?"  "What  is the current master database server?")
