Saw the 13.04, was not obvious it would support 14.04, thanks for the detail on the various options.

For my use case, for production the omnibus is fine. For test environment I need the first node to run Chef-Zero w/ berks, so the chef install from JJ for that environment would work best.

please check these links

https://downloads.chef.io/

https://opscode-omnibus-packages.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu/13.04/x86_64/chef_12.0.3-1_amd64.deb

omnibus will have ruby, gem, bundler + chef-(shell/solo/apply/client) , does that constitute your environment?

chefdk will add berks, chefspec, test-kitchen etc on top of it,

Couple of questions:
- Are there omnibus packages for ubuntu 14.04? (If yes can I have the path please)
- Does the omnibus packages pull in the complete environment? (One of the advantages of the chef-dk install is that it has the complete ruby environment and tooling bundled)

Thanks,

For your non-workstation systems, the Omnibus chef-client packages should be sufficient; ChefDK packages in extra testing and workflow tools that are generally more relevant on your workstation (though you may find them useful for build nodes if you run cookbooks through a Ci pipeline of some sort).

The workstation side would mostly come into play if you create new systems by running a bootstrap process from the command line on your workstation (e.g., `knife bootstrap` or similar). In that case, you’d need to either customize the bootstrap script to install the foreman stuff before it runs `chef-client`, or you could use Chef to install it. Downside of the second option is that the foreman integration probably wouldn’t work until `chef-client` runs for a second time.
