puppet fork?
shouldn't this mention how this was created in a middle of an eventful flamewar in the puppet community? that seems relevant at least to the history section. --TheAnarcat (talk) 14:22, 5 June 2014 (UTC) → The puppet code base was not the base code used for Chef. While it's worth capturing that the aforementioned flamewar was part of what led to the creation of Chef software, it would be incorrect to call it a fork. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.98.130.183 (talk) 21:03, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

AWS and EC2?
It says AWS EC2 at the start. That's obviously true, but what about the rest of AWS? Can Chef manage other things from AWS that aren't EC2, like RDS, S3 or EBS? AWS CloudFormation can and AWS OpsWorks is based on Chef, so this (importantly) affects what's possible from AWS OpsWorks, or else would need CloudFormation instead.

BCFG2 is one of the four major config management tools, really?
While I have tried to work with BCFG2 myself, I have never met someoneone in the last few years who even knew the name "BCFG2", much less anything about it's design, origin, or how to work with it. I'd say that one should replace BCFG2 by Ansible, if anything. Besides, CFEngine has also fallen quite out of favour in all places that I have seen. 91.10.47.90 (talk) 10:03, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Not to worry, I nuked it.

Chef Licensing
It looks like the "original" Chef server is only available under a proprietary license, but there are other packages in the Free Software space which claim to be a Chef server. Since I don't know too much about Chef, I can't really tell. It would be good if someone in the know could verify and update the information accordingly. 91.10.47.90 (talk) 10:16, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
