You can transform your company into a highly collaborative, software-driven organization with Chef Automate as the engine.

Benefits of Chef Automate

DevOps workflow at scale

Chef Automate's deployment pipeline includes automated quality gates that give your teams the ability to deploy safely and at velocity. You'll have a common basis for managing changes with full transparency and accountability.

Compliance at velocity

When compliance is code, requirements can be checked as part of the automated deployment pipeline. Replace spreadsheets filled with abstract descriptions with tangible tests that have a clear intent. Your team knows what standards they're expected to meet, and auditors know exactly what is being tested.

Comprehensive visibility

Visualize and search for data aggregated from multiple Chef servers, nodes running the Chef client or nodes managed by chef-solo. Understand what happened, when it happened and why. Correlate data across multiple data centers, dig deeply into operational issues to find the configuration needle in your infrastructure haystack, and share what you find with all team members.

Effective cross-team collaboration

Chef Automate tracks and tests dependencies between projects and teams. Deploy safely, even in a multi-team, multi-project environment where there are complex interdependencies.
