We have been a Chef principal partner since 2017 in the areas of consulting, reselling and training. We are also an AWS partner and Chef is a very good addition to the AWS environment, as well as in purely on-premise environments. Thanks to our many years of experience in small and large projects, we know that Chef can be used ideally in all areas, but above all for compliance.

On behalf of Climb, we are honored to be a part of Chef’s channel strategy,” says Curt Peters – Sr. Alliance Manager. “When we recognized the early adoption of DevOps, we sought to partner with Chef, a leader in Software Automation solutions, to provide our customers with best-in-class solutions to drive modern software development practices. As DevOps becomes a higher priority for enterprises, our team continues to leverage Chef for enabling our channel community with the tools to meet the needs of rapidly changing IT Infrastructure environments, security, and compliance.
