Hi Saad, No, you can use hosted chef or your own on-premise chef server, or even chef solo. In our Chef Server configuration page, you just specify the Chef server URL you want to connect to from your Scalr server.
https://scalr-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/display/docs/Registering+a+Chef+Server+with+Scalr As for using Chef with Openstack, this is definitely possible and supported. It doesn't make much difference to Scalr what cloud platform you launch your instances from as it relates to Chef. The basic premise is that you'll launch a basic instance in Openstack that will serve as your template for your other instances that you want to manage through Scalr. Install whatever prerequisite software packages you want available on that image, including your preferred version of chef-client. Then you will import this server into Scalr, and the disk image will then be available for you to use withing Scalr to launch additional instances. https://scalr-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/display/docs/Import+a+non-Scalr+Server Once you've imported a server into Scalr, you'll have your first Scalr role. A role in scalr is comprised of a disk image, plus whatever additional automation you want to add it. This could be chef roles, runlists, recipes, or bash/python/ruby scripts, for example. You can mix and match whatever automation you want, and arrange the order and trigger events for these actions.
