This piece compares AWS OpsWorks (built on Chef-solo) and Hosted Chef, outlining how OpsWorks structures stacks and layers for AWS-centric deployments, while Hosted Chef provides a server-based, multi-cloud model; it contrasts pricing (OpsWorks free vs. Hosted Chef paid), learning curve and documentation, and the trade-offs of AWS integration and potential lock-in versus broader flexibility and features, concluding with market implications of Amazon expanding into configuration management.
