One (or more) workstations are configured to allow users to author, test, and maintain cookbooks.
Workstation systems run the Chef Workstation package which includes tools such as Chef Infra Client, Chef InSpec, Test Kitchen, ChefSpec, Cookstyle, and other tools necessary for developing and testing your infrastructure with Chef products.
Cookbooks are uploaded to the Chef Infra Server from these workstations. Some cookbooks are custom to the organization and others are based on community cookbooks available from the Chef Supermarket.
Ruby is the programming language that is the authoring syntax for cookbooks. Most recipes are simple patterns (blocks that define properties and values that map to specific configuration items like packages, files, services, templates, and users. The full power of Ruby is available for when you need a programming language.

Chef Infra Client is installed on each node that is managed with Chef Infra. Chef Infra Client configures the node locally by performing the tasks specified in the run-list. Chef Infra Client will also pull down any required configuration data from the Chef Infra Server during a Chef Infra Client run.

The Chef Infra Server acts as a hub of information. Cookbooks and policy settings are uploaded to the Chef Infra Server by users from workstations.
-The Chef Infra Client accesses the Chef Infra Server from the node on which it is installed to get configuration data, performs searches of historical Chef Infra Client run data, and then pulls down the necessary configuration data. After a Chef Infra Client run is finished, the Chef Infra Client uploads updated run data to the Chef Infra Server.

Chef Workstation includes important command-line tools:
The chef-repo is the repository structure in which cookbooks are authored, tested, and maintained:
The directory structure within the chef-repo varies. Some organizations prefer to keep all of their cookbooks in a single chef-repo, while other organizations prefer to use a chef-repo for every cookbook.

-The Chef Infra Client will run a recipe only when asked. When the Chef Infra Client runs the same recipe more than once, the results will be the same system state each time. When a recipe is run against a system, but nothing has changed on either the system or in the recipe, the Chef Infra Client will not change anything.

The Chef Infra Server supports multiple organizations. The Chef Infra Server includes a single default organization that is defined during setup.

A group is used to define access to object types and objects in the Chef Infra Server and also to assign permissions that determine what types of tasks are available to members of that group who are authorized to perform them. Groups are configured by organization.
Individual users who are members of a group will inherit the permissions assigned to the group. The Chef Infra Server includes the following default groups: admins, clients, and users. For users of the hosted Chef Infra Server, an additional default group is provided: billing_admins.
