# Chef Provider
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Chef](https://www.chef.io/) is a systems and cloud infrastructure automation
|
||
|
framework. The Chef provider allows Terraform to manage various resources
|
||
|
that exist within [Chef Server](http://docs.chef.io/chef_server.html).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Example Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
# Configure the Chef provider
|
||
|
provider "chef" {
|
||
|
"server_url" = "https://api.opscode.com/organizations/example/"
|
||
|
|
||
|
// You can set up a "Client" within the Chef Server management console.
|
||
|
"client_name" = "terraform"
|
||
|
"private_key_pem" = "${file(\"chef-terraform.pem\")}"
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Create a Chef Environment
|
||
|
resource "chef_environment" "production" {
|
||
|
name = "production"
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Create a Chef Role
|
||
|
resource "chef_role" "app_server" {
|
||
|
name = "app_server"
|
||
|
run_list = [
|
||
|
"recipe[terraform]"
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|

The following arguments are supported:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* `server_url` - (Required) The HTTP(S) API URL of the Chef server to use. If
|
||
|
the target Chef server supports organizations, use the full URL of the

|
||
|
* `private_key_pem` - (Required) The PEM-formatted private key belonging to
|
||
|
the configured client. This is issued by the server when a new client object
|
||
|
is created. May be provided instead in a file whose path is in the
|
||
|
``CHEF_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE`` environment variable.
|
||
|
* `allow_unverified_ssl` - (Optional) Boolean indicating whether to make
