Chef is a well-established tool in the DevOps and DevSecOps ecosystem, primarily used for configuration management, infrastructure automation, and continuous compliance.
It helps in automating infrastructure management, deploying, and maintaining configurations across servers, making it ideal for organizations that prioritize infrastructure-as-code (IaC) principles.
Chef is designed to automate and standardize how infrastructure is managed and configured, ensuring systems are always deployed with the right configurations and security settings.
Chef is available in both open-source and enterprise editions, with the enterprise version offering additional features such as compliance automation, analytics, and premium support.
