[chef] RE: Re: Rollout the Chef client

[< >]

 

We are planning to implement Chef in our estate. We have around 300+ hosts & VMs which include different versions of OS like Solaris/Linux/Windows/AIX machines

 

I just want to avoid a lot of manual work in rolling out Chef Client. Could you please suggest a good approach (creating script or any tool) for this?

 

What's required for the install on Solaris/Windows/AIX?

 

The mechanism we use - we might want to use it again in future to upgrade the clients- unless chef can do that itself, which I doubt.

 

Thanks

Devesh

Thats a pretty open ended question.  https://www.getchef.com/download-chef-client/ has downloads for installing Chef.  If that doesn’t provide resources, can you provide more information about what prevents you from installing it through normal channels?
