Puppet and Chef are two popular intent-based infrastructure automation frameworks. 

Chef allows users to define their intent through a recipe - a reusable set of configuration or management tasks - 

and allows the recipe to be deployed on numerous devices. The recipe, when deployed on a Cisco Nexus 9000 

Series Switch, translates into network configuration settings and commands for collecting statistics and analytics 

information. The recipe allows automated configuration and management of a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch. 

Puppet provides a similar intent-definition construct, called a manifest. The manifest, when deployed on a Cisco 

Nexus 9000 Series Switch, translates into network configuration settings and commands for collecting information 

from the switch. 

Both Puppet and Chef are widely deployed and receive significant attention in the infrastructure automation and 

DevOps communities. The Cisco Nexus 9000 Series supports both the Puppet and Chef frameworks, with clients 

for Puppet and Chef integrated into enhanced Cisco NX-OS on the switch (Figure 9).
