About Chef Server

Chef Server is the central server of the Chef automation platform, which belongs to the Progress software portfolio. It acts as the scalable base on which Chef's configuration and compliance tooling runs.

What Chef Server offers

  • Configuration management — policy-based control so configurations are applied the same way in every environment.
  • Compliance automation — audits that run on a schedule or on demand, using standards-based content.
  • Workflow orchestration — a single control plane for coordinating DevOps tools and jobs across nodes.
  • Flexible deployment — works across cloud, on-premises, hybrid and air-gapped set-ups.

Who it works with

Chef is aimed at enterprises automating infrastructure, application delivery and security checks. Its wider stack builds on open source tools, and the platform is available as software as a service, on-premises, or through cloud marketplaces such as AWS and Azure.
