Hi,
I am just wondering if it is possible to work with chef in a cross architecture platfrom? What I mean is something like my chef-server is running on x86 architecture and client is running on power-pc or vice-versa. Is it possible to do that in the standard way or would I have to make few big changes to achieve that?
Thanks,

It might not be officially supported, but I know of cases where folks
have compiled the Ruby, for Chef to run on an unsupported architecture.
For the client, you can probably compile a Ruby for your target arch,
and pull chef in with Rubygems.

The Chef API is all based around HTTP and JSON (read: no binary data, just strings), so it should all be fine.
