One of the jobs of the Linux kernel—and all operating system kernels—is to manage the resources available to the system. When those resources get used up, what should it do? If the resource is RAM, there's not much choice. It's not feasible to take over the behavior of any piece of user software, understand what that software does, and make it more memory-efficient.

A Chef client, installed on each node, is in charge of applying the recipe to its corresponding node. This guide will show you how to install and configure a Chef Server and Chef Workstation. We will also bootstrap a node to manage with Chef.
