It would be if it were possible to have systems be automatically bootstrapped with Chef upon creation. e.g. Users could set up recipes and roles in the DO control panel somehow, and then pick a role to automatically create a Droplet from.

Additionally, users could share their Chef stuff with each other, which would allow everyone to benefit from the magical auto-provisioning. And, it's more transparent than allowing users to share pre-built images, since anyone can inspect the code for the Chef recipes before using them to provision a Droplet.

Or, even better than managing Chef stuff through the DO control panel, it would be great if I could just give a URL to a GitHub repo containing the recipes/roles, and then the Droplet would automatically pull down this repo and bootstrap itself with the desired role(s).
