How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Chef
There are as many ways of managing the configuration of heterogeneous
systems as there are engineers trying to solve this problem. This talk
explores one way of converting an ad-hoc configuration management system
into one codified in Chef. We will describe extensions to the FreeBSD
and Solaris providers and explore cookbooks to detail how the
configuration is modeled. But why would you actually use a CFM? Will it
make your job easier? Can you own it? We will reveal these answers and
more.

Unfortunately the uglyness of Ruby really shows when you have to do anything advanced with Chef.
This was clear when he was forced to write handling of local file packages.
