Chef is a powerful tool from Opscode which makes Infrastructure as Code real! In the space of DevOps, where Continuous Delivery requires the ‘on-demand’ building, updating and management of Virtual Environments, technologies like Chef become essential. The slide deck attached is from a seminar I delivered recently. The session introduces Chef and its role in DevOps.

The agenda of the deck is as follows:

• A Review of DevOps
• IBMs Continuous Delivery solution
• Introduction to Chef
• Chef and Continuous Delivery
