[chef] Re: ANN: evil-chef, a gem to use chef as a library

[Matt Ray < >]

This could play well with what John Keiser is working on with Chef Metal.
https://github.com/jkeiser/chef-metal

Chef Metal works with Cheffish to use Chef to deploy Chef resources
and provision machines (in turn managed by Chef). All are very alpha,
John blogged about it here:

Thanks,
