Release Notes

Getting Started With Chef
If you were working in IT even ten years ago, then unless
you were working for a large company, you probably didn't
need to think about how to manage infrastructure in a
scalable way. Back then servers were often on-premises, or
in some nearby co-location data center; deployments were
infrequent and were kind of like a section of chain, with
each link made of a different material, with no
consideration of how that link fit into the chain as a
whole. At any moment one or more links were bound to break,
leaving the deployment is some unforeseen state, that could
at best, be described as  broken.
Luckily for all of us, tools started to evolve out of
primordial ooze that was, a random collection of Perl,
Python, Ruby, and VBScript, among the other, more esoteric
languages. Among those tools was Chef. It not only was
among the earliest to evolve, but it has continued to
evolve even today.
Chef helps companies around the world manage their
infrastructure, in a scalable way. What makes Chef such a
useful tool is that it provides a consistent way to
interact with nodes, across your entire infrastructure. It
also provides a way to test the infrastructure code, which
allows you to apply years of software engineering best
practices to your infrastructure.
In this course you'll learn how to use Chef to manage your
servers. You'll learn about how to create your own recipes
to configure a server to meet your desired state. You'll
also learn about using community created cookbooks from the
Chef Supermarket. By the end of this course you'll have a
solid foundation, to get you started working with Chef.
