What is Progress Chef AIOps?
The Progress® Chef® AIOps capability is built for operations teams to help generate automation code like Chef Cookbooks, Bash or PowerShell scripts and deploy them at scale. Powered by the Chef orchestration tool, the AIOps capability provides a high degree of flexibility and control over automation script deployments.
How It Works
Based on their particular requirements and familiarity with the market, organizations seeking a solution for configuration management and compliance may consider both Chef and Ansible for their infrastructure automation needs. This overview covers the key areas you should consider when comparing these two products:
- Step 1. Describe Your Need
Democratize operations across teams. Just describe your goal in plain language, whether it's configuring environments, installing tools or running compliance checks.
- Step 2. Let AI Plan, Generate and Validate
The agent breaks down your intent into logical steps, plans the automation and generates code that’s aware of dependencies, edge cases and best practices and validates it before moving forward.
- Step 3. Test, Learn, Iterate
The system runs intelligent test loops to validate outputs. If something fails, it troubleshoots autonomously, refines the automation and re-tests until it works.

- Step 4. Deploy with Confidence, At Scale.
Nothing runs without your green light. Review, approve and roll out automation across environments consistently, securely and at scale.
