With our current model we use the knife-vsphere plugin with a wrapper perl script that essentially for loops knife in conjunction with a csv file to mass deploy a list of VMs. I'm wondering if a workflow like this is possible with policyfiles?
How do you mass deploy using policyfiles in Chef?

Policyfiles generally assume you are using Chef Server, there is minimal support in the workflow for using chef-solo. You can play with using the
chef export -afeature to generate policy archives and then transferring them via SFTP or hosting them on an internal web server somewhere. Overall "doable but not documented so you're on your own".
