SEATTLE, May 10 — Opscode, the leader in cloud infrastructure automation, today announced its Open Source Chef, Hosted Chef and Private Chef solutions provide full integration with HP Cloud Services (@hpcloud) to deliver full stack infrastructure automation – from server provisioning and configuration management to continuous delivery of infrastructure and applications – for HP's OpenStack technology-based public cloud. Leveraging Opscode's knife plugin for HP Cloud Services, businesses of all sizes can rapidly create, bootstrap and manage HP Cloud Compute instances.

"The scale enabled by dynamic server provisioning is best harnessed by an automation framework that is consistent and flexible," said Christopher Brown, CTO, Opscode. "With HP Cloud Services and Opscode Chef, customers can now benefit from both a public cloud with the resources and support to meet enterprise-class needs, and next-generation configuration management to handle the complexity of internet-scale applications."
