Chef is an open-source configuration management and automation tool used by DevOps and IT operations teams to define infrastructure as code, automating the provisioning, configuration, and maintenance of servers. It uses a Ruby-based domain-specific language to write "recipes" and "cookbooks" that describe desired system states. Chef is commonly used alongside tools like Puppet and Ansible in cloud and on-premises infrastructure management.
