Summary


In this chapter, we went through how cookbooks are structured and how to manage recipes stored in a cookbook. We also learned about versioning and its uses. Finally, we went on to create custom resource providers that can help extend the chef-client by providing new resources.

In the next chapter, we'll move into the world of roles and environments and see how we can group together all these cookbooks under a hood to bootstrap machines with a particular role or in a particular environment.
