I have a running Chef 12 server.

I am looking for a doc describing how to setup a client of the above,  
get the keys/validations setup properly, and register the node and  
do a build.

Can you please send me best practice for the above?

Thanks!

Hi,

Everything is here:[http://docs.chef.io/](http://docs.chef.io/)

You can also buy books, like 'Chef in Action' (Manning), 'Test driven  
infrastructure with Chef' (O'Reilly), some Vagrant tutorials, looking at  
BerkShelf, Vagrant, etc...
