chef-runner is the fastest way to run Chef cookbooks.

The goal of chef-runner is to speed up your Chef development and testing workflow by allowing you to change infrastructure code and get immediate feedback.

chef-runner was originally developed as a fast alternative to the painfully slow vagrant provision. The tool has since evolved and can now be used to rapidly provision not only local Vagrant machines but also remote hosts like EC2 instances.

Getting Started

1. Installation
2. Running Chef Recipes
3. Use with Vagrant, Test Kitchen, and SSH
