summary
Chef for OpenStack is a community code repository of cookbooks, docs and tools that deploys Essex/Grizzly stacks, merges forks from AT&T, Rackspace and DreamHost, and adds CI and source builds. It uses Test Kitchen for multi-OS testing, supports KVM/LXC and Hyper‑V, and integrates Cinder backends and Quantum plugins. Knife openstack talks to the OpenStack API to create, bootstrap and configure VMs with Chef agents. Notable claims: AT&T runs Chef across 15 data centers and anecdotally Chef handles 10,000+ nodes.
