+# Chef Apply Provisioner
+
+**Provisioner name: `chef_apply`**
+
+The Chef Apply provisioner allows you to provision the guest using
+[Chef](https://www.getchef.com/), specifically with
+[Chef Apply](https://docs.getchef.com/ctl_chef_apply.html).
+
+Chef Apply is ideal for people who are already experienced with Chef and the
+Chef ecosystem. Specifically, this documentation page does not cover how use
+Chef or how to write Chef recipes.
+
+<div class="alert alert-warn">
+  <p>
+    <strong>Warning:</strong> If you are not familiar with Chef and Vagrant already,
+    we recommend starting with the <a href="/v2/provisioning/shell.html">shell
+    provisioner</a>.
+  </p>
+</div>
+
+## Options
+
+This section lists the complete set of available options for the Chef Apply
+provisioner. More detailed examples of how to use the provisioner are
+available below this section.
+
+Due to the unqiue nature of Chef Apply, the Chef Apply provisioner does not
+inherit the [common options for other Chef provisioners](/v2/provisioning/chef_common.html).
+
+* `recipe` (string) - The raw recipe contents to execute using Chef Apply on
+  the guest.
+
+* `log_level` (string) - The log level to use while executing `chef-apply`. The
+  default value is "info".
+
+* `upload_path` (string) - **Advanced!** The location on the guest where the
+  generated recipe file should be stored. For most use cases, it is unlikely you
+  will need to customize this value. The default value is
+  `/tmp/vagrant-chef-apply-#` where `#` is a unique counter generated by
+  Vagrant to prevent collisions.
+
+## Specifying a Recipe
+
+The easiest way to get started with the Chef Apply provisioner is to just
+specify an inline
+[Chef recipe](https://docs.getchef.com/essentials_cookbook_recipes.html). For
+example:
+
+```ruby
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.vm.provision "chef_apply" do |chef|
+    chef.recipe = "package[apache2]"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+This causes Vagrant to run Chef Apply with the given recipe contents. If you are
+familiar with Chef, you know this will install the apache2 package from the
+system package provider.
+
+Since single-line Chef recipes are rare, you can also specify the recipe using a
+"heredoc":
+
+```ruby
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.vm.provision "chef_apply" do |chef|
+    chef.recipe = <<-RECIPE
+      package "apache2"
+
+      template "/etc/apache2/my.config" do
+        # ...
+      end
+    RECIPE
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Finally, if you would prefer to store the recipe as plain-text, you can set the
+recipe to the contents of a file:
+
+```ruby
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.vm.provision "chef_apply" do |chef|
+    chef.recipe = File.read("/path/to/my/recipe.rb")
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Roles
+
+The Vagrant Chef Apply provisioner does not support roles. Please use the a
+different Vagrant Chef provisioner if you need support for roles.
+
+## Data Bags
+
+The Vagrant Chef Apply provisioner does not support data_bags. Please use the a
+different Vagrant Chef provisioner if you need support for data_bags.
