What is the difference between Chef and CloudFormation?

Answer:

Chef and CloudFormation both automate infrastructure, but Chef is for configuration management on any platform (cloud or on-premises). CloudFormation is specific to AWS and uses templates to set up AWS resources. Chef is used to manage server settings across many environments; CloudFormation is best for creating and managing AWS infrastructure. Some teams use CloudFormation to set up AWS resources, then Chef to configure them further.
