Chef Community Room

Chef Chef is the platform for the DevOps workflow. Use Chef to automate and manage it all-- infrastructure, run-time environments and applications. The Chef community is tens of thousands strong. The most enduring and transformative companies use Chef to become fast, efficient, and innovative software-driven organizations.

Chef Automate gives you a full-stack continuous deployment pipeline, automated testing for compliance and security, and visibility into everything that's happening along the way. It builds on three open-source projects:

• Chef for infrastructure automation - Define your infrastructure as code and have that code manage systems consistently and quickly as they scale.
• InSpec for compliance automation - Manage the compliance and security of your applications continuously with coded policies.
• Habitat for application automation - Build, deploy, manage apps to act consistently in any runtime — bare   metal, VMs, containers, and PaaS.

Join us in the Chef Community Room for some presentations and hacking.
