Hi Matt,
Thanks for going through this. While reading the Chef chapter it reminded me of Daffy Duck(Duck Dodgers) trying to get to Planet X when compared to other tools:

IMHO the book should be updated as Chef changed yet again. Here's why:
1.-Now, instead of Enterprise and Open Source versions we have ONE version in Chef 12 and they charge you based on number of nodes.
2.-The way to install chef-server in version 12 requires extra steps, in a nutshell these two:
a.-Get a user configured
chef-server-ctl user-create user_name first_name last_name email password --filename FILE_NAME
b.-Get the organization configured.
chef-server-ctl org-create short_name "full_organization_name" --association_user user_name --filename ORGANIZATION-validator.pem
3.-THEN configure the workstation and make sure the keys are created on the right place when copying them over when you create the chef-server user and organization. Also, the workstation now uses a package instead of a script.
4.-Chef has streamlined the documentation a little bit so it's less like Duck Dogers version and a littler more like Porky Pig's version of getting to Planet X.
