Integrating a Chef account

To create and use Chef bootstrap tasks, you must first integrate a Chef account into Lumen® Edge Service Manager. Before you can integrate a Chef account, you must create a Chef managed account in public Chef management. Be sure to retain the RSA PRIVATE KEY provided to you while creating the Chef managed account. You will need this to integrate your Chef account into the Edge Service Manager.
