Introduction =

knife-voxel is a plugin for the tool ‘knife’, part of the configuration management system ‘chef’. www.opscode.com/. It allows you to provision Voxel dot Net (www.voxel.net) cloud instances (physical as well as virtual) and then bootstrap them as chef clients.

This plugin is currently a work in progress, although all major functions should work as expected. The command set models Voxel’s API hAPI (api.voxel.net/docs/) . We depend on the voxel-hapi library for access to this API. This will be replaced with a fog provider based backend in the future.
