command, you'll see that
chef-zero
thinks that there

That's a quick overview of Chef Zero. We'll be using Chef Zero to show you more Chef
Server functionality in upcoming chapters. Hit Ctrl-C in the window in which you launched
chef-zero
to stop the Chef Zero server.
Summary
In this chapter, we showed you how Chef Zero provides a complete, in-memory version of
Chef Server that is easy to install and great for checking out features of Chef Server locally
without needing to have a full Chef Server setup. We'll be using this nimbler implementation
of Chef Server for the rest of the exercises in this topic.
