Chef Is More Than a Configuration Management Tool
Chef and Puppet are both pioneers in the DevOps movement offering popular enterprise-grade configuration automation tools. When evaluating which one is right for you, you should understand how Chef’s mission has evolved. Chef’s mission is to help IT Operators achieve more – from enabling continuous security and compliance to automating application delivery. Chef focuses on helping organizations to become fast and efficient and stay ahead of the competition by automating delivery and management of the entire IT stack.
Check Your Puppet Systems for Security and Compliance with Chef Compliance
Chef Compliance is extremely effective at inspecting a system, including identifying vulnerabilities and out-of-compliance versions of software. Chef Compliance validates your deployed configuration across applications and infrastructure. Many organizations that use Puppet also use Chef Compliance to shift compliance left and maintain a complete view of compliance status across the estate.
