A Quick Tour of A Chef Client Run Internals

Dan DeLeo appeared on the FoodFightShow some time ago to walk through "what a Chef run really does". I expanded on these remarks in my personal investigation.

/usr/bin/chef-client

• bin/chef-client creates a new Chef::Application::Client (subclass of Chef::Application which sets up common things like loggers across chef-client, chef-solo, knife, etc.) then jump to:

• lib/chef/client.rb

• application classes create a new Chef::Client object, which calls initialize().
