A colleague will be posting a Chef blog entry on the differences between chef-client and ChefDK this week. Stay tuned.

thanks all for the clarification.
I was able to install chef-dk and create some sample cookbooks, was able to upload the same to the chef server.
The thing thats bothering me is that - the workstation does not show up as a node in the web-ui.
Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks.

There is also an omnibus chef client. If its a workstation, use chefdk.

Hi,

I have a chef server on a linux machine and want to use a windows machine to upload cookbooks.
I notice that there are 2 options:
1. Chef client - it seems to contains items for both client and workstation
2. Chef-dk - it seems to contain items related to workstation alone.

I wanted to know if the above understanding is correct?

Also - which would be a better choice since both enable knife and cookbook related commands.

Thanks for your time and suggestions.
