Chef on a Mac

Policy-as-code configuration management (Progress Chef) · Infrastructure as Code

Chef (Progress) manages system configuration as code; Ruby-based recipes and cookbooks converge nodes to a desired state, with Test Kitchen and InSpec for testing/compliance. Install Chef Workstation (cask) to author and run cookbooks; a Chef Infra Server or chef-zero applies them at scale. Long-established in large enterprise fleets.

Run Chef with FrontierStack
