Annex leverages chef-solo to allow you to provision and update multiple servers by looking up network topology on the fly utilizing a distributed repository to manage recipes.

The ‘annex` command allows you to provision a server (bootstrapping or updating as needed) or list the servers that you have already provisioned.

Usage: annex [-v] [-h] command [<args>]

Available commands:

    provision
    list

Global options:

    -h, --help                       Show this message
    -v, --version                    Show version

In order for this to work, your recipes have to be setup and your config/settings.yml needs to be setup.
