[chef-dev] Chef 11 Released!

[Bryan McLellan < >]

We're really excited to have released Chef 11!

This release includes a new Erlang based server which operates at great 
scale. Cycle Computing recently ran over 10,000 nodes against one Chef 11 
server. [1]

The client will continue to be Ruby, and has many improvements itself, 
including:
* many windows improvements
* partial templates
* chef-apply, a tool to run a single cookbook against a system
* run list based cookbook file evaluation order
* substantial improvements on node attributes and precedence handling

You can read the release notes here: http://bit.ly/WM2EW2

You can download both the client and the server at

We also announced Facebook's use of Chef today. They will be speaking at 
ChefConf, if you're interested in operating infrastructure at huge scale, 
it's a talk you don't want to miss.
