Hi All,

I have a requirement where cookbooks present on chef server need to be applied
to 5 nodes at the same time. I didn’t find any suitable way in chef. Please
suggest can we achieve this through chef?

Thanks

If your concern is around timing, you'll need a separate process to handle
synchronization across the nodes (mssh, knife ssh, push jobs, etc). Chef
isn't exactly a deployment system as much as it is a config management
system, though with tooling there can definitely be overlap. The native
behavior is more like the database term 'eventual consistency'.
