What is Chef Enterprise Automation Stack?

Chef Enterprise Automation Stack is an automation platform that configures and manages infrastructures and aims to increase software innovation velocity. Chef deploys servers to any physical, virtual, or cloud location, no matter what size the infrastructure and imposes self-reliance across the users’ development and operations teams.

Key benefits of using Chef Enterprise Automation Stack

The Chef Enterprise Automation Stack can be used as the foundation to create and manage dynamic infrastructure whether large or small, across multiple datacenters whether on-premise or in the cloud.

Chef delivers applications and infrastructure quickly and safely, shipping changes whenever the user decides to and with fewer defects thanks to automated testing and approval.

Chef compliance scans entire IT infrastructures and creates reports regarding issues by severity, security risks, and out-of-date software, and can be built directly into the deployment pipeline.
