Chef provisioning is the Chef of all things. It serves the purpose of turning your application-run books into code. Now, all the benefits of infrastructure as code that you have come to enjoy in order to manage your server instances can also be enjoyed in managing your entire application cluster. Chef provisioning lets you describe your entire app the way you currently describe a single machine, using resources. Because of this, Chef provisioning allows you to test an entire distributed application at once.
