Chef Magic

November 1, 2020


I’ve recently started a new cookbook project called chef_magic. In my experience of working with Chef products at many different customer sites, I’ve found need to dig around outside of the box on more than one occasion to make operating at scale much simpler than can be done when following the “book”.

I don’t claim to know the future but there is tremendous potential here for good for the Chef community and Chef customers.
