Chef Cookbook


Chef uses Cookbooks as a key element in its processes and they are used to describe the desired state of your node/server. 

A Chef Cookbook is an important part of configuring machines when using Chef. It describes the desired state of the machine. This is similar to using Playbooks in Ansible. The Chef Cookbook contains five key elements, which all have their own part to play:

  • Recipes
  • Templates
  • Attribute values
  • Extensions
  • File distributors

These elements are often pieces of metadata that work together to create an overview of the machine. Let's dive deeper into these five elements to learn more about them.

Note

When speaking about a node, we are referring to a machine – whether physical or virtual. The node could be a computer, server, network device, or another machine.

Recipes

A recipe is a key part of the Cookbook. It's used to detail what exactly should happen with a node. It's similar to a Vagrantfile when setting the state for a Vagrant virtual machine. 

The recipe is written in...
