What is the difference between Chef and Puppet in DevOps?

The question is about Chef

Answer:

Chef and Puppet are configuration management tools with similar goals. They differ in approach and usability. Chef employs a procedural approach using Ruby-based DSL, which provides more flexibility and allows customizations. Puppet utilizes the declarative model for configuration; that is, configurations are defined in a state-based manner. Thus, it is more user-friendly for the system administrator. The added flexibility for Chef makes it far more applicable for complex customizations, while the state-driven approach of Puppet generally makes it more accessible to simple environments or beginners.
