Frequently asked questions

What are the system requirements for deploying Chef?

For a standalone Chef Infra deployment, the following hardware requirements are recommended:
4 total cores (physical or virtual)
8 GB of RAM or more
5 GB of free disk space in /opt
10 GB of free disk space in /var

For more detailed information, refer to the Chef documentation.

Can I scale vertically (upgrade CPU/RAM) and horizontally (add more servers)?

Yes, and this is a major advantage. Kamatera allows you to adjust resources on a live VPS (vertical scaling) quickly. Chef ensures that when you add new servers (horizontal scaling), they are instantly configured correctly, allowing your infrastructure to grow and adapt seamlessly without manual intervention.

Why should I use Chef on Kamatera?

Chef is an infrastructure automation platform that manages server configurations through code instead of manual processes. You write “recipes” and “cookbooks” that define how servers should be configured, and Chef automatically applies these configurations across your entire infrastructure.

By combining Chef (for automation) with Kamatera (for instant, high-performance cloud resources), you shift from manual work to “Infrastructure as Code.” This ensures consistency, drastically speeds up deployment, and eliminates human error across all your cloud instances.

Can Chef manage both Linux and Windows servers?

Yes, Chef fully supports both Linux and Windows environments. Chef Client runs natively on Windows Server, and you can manage Windows-specific configurations like IIS, registry settings, Windows services, Active Directory, and PowerShell DSC resources. Many community cookbooks support both platforms, and you can write platform-agnostic cookbooks that work across operating systems with conditional logic when platform-specific differences exist.

Can Chef automate application deployments or just server configuration?

Chef handles both. While Chef excels at server configuration (installing packages, managing services, configuring systems), it also automates application deployments. Use Chef to deploy application code, manage application configurations, coordinate rolling updates across server fleets, and orchestrate complex multi-tier application releases. Many organizations use Chef for complete infrastructure and application lifecycle management.

Can I try Kamatera’s infrastructure for free?
