There surely is an overlap. Chef is meant to manage an heterogeneous environment of machines. Things like per-operating-system templates and attributes for example don't really make sense if you're targeting a single container.
- shykes 13y agoIt all depends on the use case. You may have the luxury of building all your containers from a single OS distro - but others might use containers to automate the testing of the same build across a large matrix of distros and application versions. In that case using Chef would allow them to keep the variation between Dockerfiles minimal. Another example is using Chef to maintain your Docker deployment and the distributed system supporting it, then using Docker to deploy your application payload.
