What is the difference between Chef and Docker?

The question is about Chef

Answer:

Chef and Docker serve different roles in infrastructure management. Chef is a configuration management tool that automates the setup and maintenance of server configurations. On the other side, Docker is a containerization platform that packages applications and their dependencies into lightweight containers. In such a way, applications could be consistently deployed across diverse environments. Chef deals with infrastructure state and configuration management, while Docker encapsulates applications in isolated containers. Many DevOps teams are using Chef for configuration management and Docker to deploy applications to provide well-integrated flexible infrastructure.
