During my wife’s recent trip to the east coast I decided I would take my circa 2015 macbook and fully automate it and manage it with a configuration management software. You might want to know what kind of sick puppy would do this intentionally {me}. Here was my thinking: As a manager, I don’t get to do as much hands on work as I’d like I’m frustrated by the config drift I have at home…everything is a snowflake I wanted to learn CHEF more on that later Why CHEF?
