"Working collaboratively with the Chef community, we've developed plugins for a number of leading public cloud services, ensuring easy integration and consistent model of interaction," said Christopher Brown, CTO, Opscode.

"Open cloud brings open choice for our customers in how they leverage their cloud resources, and with Chef they have tools to do so easily and efficiently."
"Ensuring that our global IT customers can proactively automate the configurations of applications and the orchestration of elastic infrastructure resources through Eucalyptus is critical to their successful adoption of cloud," said David Butler, senior vice preside of marketing at Eucalyptus.
