Since months ago I was pondering over providing an alternative Chef hosted service.

The timing of the recent announcement by Chef, Inc. converging and releasing a single code base under Apache 2.0 license for Chef server certainly makes this initiative even more interesting for me.

So, I wanted to see if there is interest in such thing and I went ahead to setup this service.

The service is free to use and is available at api.qirtaiba.org.

The service is beta but you are more than invited to use it.

I look forward to hear comments and see what the people think about it. You can drop me a line or a tweet if you wish.

Let's hack and automate.
