From application dependency encapsulation to integrations with pipelines to runtime management - not to forget inter-team dynamics and 'throw-it-over-the-fence' issues, there are myriad challenges you face. Throw in bare-metal, containers, VMs and multi-cloud strategies and you'll soon start thinking that travel to Mars might be easier! What if - through the power of automation - all of these complexities could be simplified by defining everything an application needs to be built, run and managed in development alongside the application. What if a single artifact could be packaged that could be delivered to any environment and validated in real-time? And what if all of this could integrate seamlessly with your existing pipeline and infrastructure? That's exactly what Chef's application delivery offering does for you. Join us to learn how Chef is re-defining application delivery and hear from a customer managing distribution of applications to thousands of retail stores without dropping your order! 2020-09-28T19:50:41Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n1FI_1Xx9hA/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/n1FI_1Xx9hA https://www.chef.io/webinars/deliver-devsecops-on-microsoft-azure Deliver DevSecOps on Microsoft Azure Cloud computing has provided organizations with tools to create and scale environments with the push of a button.

Over the past decade, however, we have transitioned from complicated systems to complex systems. A complex system and the way it integrates and interacts with other complex systems is not fully knowable by any one person, one company, or even one industry. The only way to operate within a world of complex systems is through cultivating a community of varying experiences, knowledge, and observations. Come to this talk to hear stories from technical communities - including the Rust Community, The Covid-19 Cyber Threat Intelligence League, and the U.S. Marine Corps Cyber Auxiliary - and how they work together to fulfill their missions not in spite of complex systems but through those systems. Learn how you can take lessons from these communities and apply them to your own.

The standard solution has been to store the data temporarily on the Chef server where the dependent nodes can reach it. Instead of a kludgy workaround that passes state data between machines, what if you had an always on, always up-to-date service catalog showing the IP address, port and health of every service on your network. You can even store arbitrary data in Consul for Chef to consume during runs. Take the hassle out of multi-node configuration management with Consul and Chef.

Culinary students often learn the concept of "Mise en Place", or "Everything in its Place". From champions, to technical challenges - come learn from my organizations' lessons that enabled us to scale Chef out, and the epics and features that would have helped us grow faster and become more successful earlier in our journey. As organizations look to bring new tools in to increase the quality of their infrastructure and speed software delivery, it's often engineers that identify what may be able to improve these processes. Generally what follows is a business case presented to leadership in order to secure funding, an initial purchase order, and then a discovery period for those engineers and their product or service owners on how to make the tool work well in their unique ecosystems. For many, it's tempting to start automating and delivering right away - to just get something out there to show value. Often there is low hanging fruit that can be pointed to as a success story - but it's the more complicated patterns that can slow adoption down. In order for real success to happen there must be a strong community and willingness to change the ways in which we work, as well as support from the bottom of the organization all the way to the business leaders that partner with IT. We can increase velocity and adoption of new tools and ideas by following the concept of "Mise en place", or "Everything in its Place" by laying a solid foundation for Chef, or any other new tool or concept in our organizations to remove friction and make new ideas become successful realities. Come learn how we developed a community of practitioners, built support for Chef, and laid the groundwork for Chef to not only survive, but to excel in our organization.

Multi-node testing is useful for testing complex services such as replicated database servers, Ceph clusters and OpenStack to name a few. Some examples of how this is useful: - Test to ensure your replicated database servers can fail over properly - Test an upgrade between versions of Ceph or Openstack where doing this in an "All-in-One" might have differences with multiple nodes interacting - Ensure all components can communicate properly with firewalls At the OSUOSL, we developed a method for doing this using a combination of Kitchen, Terraform, InSpec and OpenStack (however any public cloud supported by Terraform will also work). This session will cover the following topics: - Why this is important and the problem we're trying to solve - Discuss what tools we used - How you can replicate this for your environment - Recorded demo using a real-world example.

We will start with its introduction to an existing on-premise infrastructure and scaling as the environment grew. As we scaled, we extended some of the Chef command-line tools to ease deployment. Next, we will explore the successful and less successful approaches to moving into a hybrid cloud infrastructure in AWS. We built AMIs using Packer and Chef Infra, but ended up with forked cookbook implementations for on-premise and cloud environments. Finally, we will explore a cloud-centric deployment integrating AWS features with Chef Infra and Chef InSpec, and adopting Policyfiles.

(ChefConf Online, June 2020) This talk begins with an overview of Chef Effortless' debut in 2019 and the historical challenges stemming from Chef Infra which Effortless attempts to solve. This talk will recount a first-hand experience of an organization's movement away from Chef Server to Chef Effortless inside their own datacenter, and how the gradual retirement of the datacenter's Chef Server was met with challenges in regards to Secrets Management and Configuration Management. We will delve into why these challenges were encountered - because the organization was reliant on Encrypted Data Bag Items and environment-based Cookbook workflows, both features which disappear when moving to the Habitat-driven Chef Effortless model - and how these challenges were overcome.

A Spectrum Of Chef Habitat Implementations (ChefConf Online, June 2020) Habitat can be intimidating to adopt as it is considerably different than its predecessor, chef infrastructure. This talk will go over a few different partial implementations of habitat from binary management to full blown habitat environments. In the first example I will go over is a very basic implementation habitat where you can use existing cookbooks without much modification. This will use zookeeper, chef infra, and habitat to illustrate my point. The binaries will be handled by habitat while service management is handled by the Linux OS and configuration management is handled by chef infrastructure. Next I will go over a more mixed example based on the same concept. In this iteration the binaries and service management will be handled by habitat while the release versioning is done by Chef infrastructure. Finally I will go over other features, like service discovery and health checks, that could be implemented in a mixed deployment. This should help show a stepwise implementation of habitat that could transition to a more idealized habitat deployment. The intent will be to cover ways an organization can use habitat to solve application level issues. Hopefully to both get more comfortable with habitat and solve problems within some limitations for a given org.

As the growth of applications increases year over year, the most successful companies will be those that understand and enable the strategic role developers play in their organizations. In order to enable this success, Enterprise IT organizations must evolve their practices. Groups that provide a classic “Shared Services” model must reshape their goals, processes, and offerings to keep up with this growth. Traditional models focus on implementing risk mitigation and operational standards. A modern “Developer Services” model focuses on empowering and enabling developers to deliver ideas to market quickly. In this webinar, we cover how an enterprise shifts to offering effective Developer Services. We examine the requirements for IT organizations to develop those services and effectively scale them to thousands of development teams. Watch this webinar on building effective Developer Services organizations and learn how Chef’s Open Source project for Application Automation, Habitat, can help you achieve those goals. 2017-07-26T03:54:48Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4GOczQa23M4/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/4GOczQa23M4 https://www.chef.io/customers/standard-bank Standard Bank: Our DevOps Journey - ChefConf 2015 View the Customer Story. 2015-04-10T16:54:15Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/A38-2xxuc2o/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/A38-2xxuc2o https://www.chef.io/video/did-you-know-about-chef-inspec-parallel Did you know about Chef InSpec Parallel?

Many organizations have found that configuration management and the CI/CD pipeline-driven automation that inherently comes with it is the first step along that path. But, initiatives such as this are not something that can be implemented overnight and are certainly not something that can be done without putting thought into the needs of your organization upfront. Implementing Chef as a stepping stone into a fuller DevOps mentality shift comes with a list of training, underlying infrastructure, automation, and longer-term needs that if invested in upfront can significantly increase the success of your implementation. Even more, getting this right will help drive forward the required organizational shifts necessary to embark on wider modernization and standardization efforts driving significant value for your business. As the creator of "Herding Cats: How to Get An Entire Organization Cooking with Chef", I am proud to present "The Unofficially Official Guide for Config Management at Scale".

Customers have told us that Chef's automation stack has enabled them to take their first steps forward by scanning their fleet for issues and authoring remediation cookbooks for the most critical assets. The criticality of security and compliance work for IT leaders has been underscored by an endless parade of high profile breaches across every industry, which continue to rise in frequency and severity each year. Can we collect all the learnings from the Chef community and raise the bar on automation tools? Customers have encouraged us to continue to innovate in this area by removing much of the delay and cost associated with content production, and enable them to take an enterprise-wide approach across even cloud and hybrid assets. What's needed is a policy-driven framework for benchmarks with controls which are easily customized to company compliance posture, including the ability to manage waivers as needed, including full visibility of approvals. With the new Chef Compliance product, Chef includes a spectrum of certified, Chef-tested and fully supported audit and remediation content which represents best practices for securing each type of end point. In this marquee session, the Chef team will introduce Chef Compliance, moving forward automation-at-scale for the DevSecOps community. See for yourself a demo on how Chef Compliance Audit helps security and operations teams maintain complete visibility over compliance status. See also how Chef Compliance Remediation helps close the loop between audit and remediation to allow for continuous compliance in the enterprise.

July 9th, 2019 and January 14th, 2020 mark the final dates for extended support for SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008/R2. For some, this means a lift-and-shift to kick the can down the road. Others will spend valuable time and money rebuilding applications that already work. Yet for another group, it marks the beginning of costly continued support contracts. But End of Support doesn’t have to be a disaster for your IT and Apps teams. In this webinar, we’ll cover how you can turn an end-of-support deadline into an opportunity to drive digital transformation and bring your applications onto modern cloud platforms. Join our presenters from Chef and Microsoft as they demo how Habitat enables you to lift, shift and modernize your legacy applications and move them to the cloud by releasing them from the dependencies of underlying operating systems like Windows Server 2008/R2.

With current open source projects, this dream is closer than ever. With Chef Habitat, you can create software packages that run (almost) anywhere. An application can be run on bare metal, a virtual machine, or in a container, with everything needed to automate that application already built into the package itself. This even works with a mixed infrastructure -- metal for your static compute heavy loads, VMs for your persistent data stores, and ephemeral short-lived containers for applications managed by Kubernetes or other container-scheduling services. In this webinar, Nell Shamrell-Harrington, Principal Software Development Engineer and Community Engineering Lead at Chef, showcases how to build and deploy these packages with the intelligence to self-organize into topologies (no central orchestrator needed!). Learn how the dream of platform-agnostic and self-organizing packages is fulfilled today, and where it will evolve in the future.

It’s easy to download a container image and get started writing code. But it’s a different story when you have to run containers in production at scale. That’s when all the hidden complexities become apparent and the real challenges begin. What tools are you going to use to build, deploy, run, and manage your containerized applications? How are you going to manage difference between environments like staging and production with a fleet of immutable objects? How will you effectively scale containerized applications once you’ve deployed them? Habitat, our open-source project for application automation, simplifies container management by packaging applications in a compact, atomic, and easily auditable format that makes it easier to deploy your application on various container runtimes. Once your applications are deployed, the Habitat supervisor simplifies the complexities of running in production environments with built-in abstractions for functions typically handled by external tooling, such as dynamic scaling and rolling updates. In this webinar, Ian Henry and Michael Ducy will show you how Habitat makes building, deploying, and running your applications in containers simple, no matter how complex the production environment. Watch to learn: - Why automation is critical to deploying in a containerized world and how - Habitat provides the minimum viable automation. - Why a strong container build system is important, and how the Habitat studio provides that system. - Why Habitat is the easiest way to build and run containers at scale, no matter the underlying container architecture.

See how to properly prepare for, implement, and manage your new hybrid infrastructure. Migrating to the cloud can feel like a daunting task, but with the right planning and patterns, organizations can adopt a pragmatic approach to moving to the cloud at their own pace. In this recorded webinar, you will learn about the factors involved in a successful migration to Amazon Web Services. This includes an overview of the risks and benefits involved, outlining a methodology for cloud migration that begins with establishing a known baseline for your app workloads, and creating a plan to move applications to the cloud in a predictable fashion. Once we have the ability to reliably deploy to the cloud, we can investigate opportunities for extending the capabilities of our cloud applications with containerization and other "cloud-native" technologies. Finally, in a live demonstration we’ll show how, with Chef Automate, you can manage your hybrid infrastructure through a single interface, and enforce security and compliance standards across your environments. The demo will cover how a typical application can be prepared for migration, moved from on-prem to cloud infrastructure, and set up for management through a single, repeatable workflow.

You’ve also probably noticed that there’s quite a bit of boilerplate code required to verify all the recipes, resources, and helpers. The consequence is that much of your test code is duplicated from one cookbook to another. In this webinar, Franklin Webber, Training and Technical Content Lead at Chef, will show you techniques that bring elegance to a cookbook’s tests. You’ll learn how to eliminate redundancy, rebuild common patterns into helpers, and extract those helpers into a portable library.

Learn more on Learn Chef: https://learn.chef.io/tracks/habitat-build#/ Most cloud migration journeys at some point involve the need to migrate legacy applications from outdated and unsupported versions of Windows to more modern operating system. This is never a simple task. Attempting such a migration using manual methodologies simply does not scale and cannot be easily replicated across environments. Habitat introduces a level of application automation that allows one to package almost any application, even legacy Windows applications, and load them into a Supervisor runtime running on modern infrastructure. This codifies application installation and configuration in a way that can be easily repeated sometimes dramatically reducing the time it takes to raise new application environments from scratch. This recorded webinar focuses on two legacy applications: SQL Server 2005 and an ASP.NET 2.0 application last updated in 2007 that depends on COM technology to connect to SQL Server. We will package both applications using a PowerShell based Habitat build plan and deploy them to Windows Server Core 2016 running inside of a Docker container. Watch to learn how: - Habitat approaches application automation differently from traditional configuration management - To package the different components of a Legacy application into a deployable artifact - Habitat allows these components to discover and interact with one another at build time 2018-08-11T20:27:58Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0A-y63rVBfs/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/0A-y63rVBfs https://www.chef.io/chefconf-keynotes/chef-infra-server-api-care-feeding-and-use Chef Server API - Care, Feeding And Use (ChefConf Online, June 2020) Sometimes the knife command just isn't what you want when interacting with the Chef server. Chef Manage is going away or gone. The Chef Server API offers convenient access to the functions behind the knife commands. Web apps using the API can allow access to sensitive interfaces in a controlled manner. Nordstrom Large environment with one central chef server ~ 100 organizations We have many shared orgs with restricted (read only) access. Updates via CI/CD only. We needed to allow access to organization and user information. How does a user ask for access to an organization when they can't display the information? How does a use find which organization owns a server? Needed to solve auditing issues also. We want a replacement for some Chef Manage functions and extension functions. Some of the functions the api gets used for: 1) Organizations Self service invitation and join an organization Drill down into groups and users Used for contact information by users Used for quarterly access audits Grants access to otherwise hidden information Self service registration 2) Vaults Terraform provider - possibly use for this Update and manage 3) Cookbooks Add cookbooks from supermarket to chef server Add authorization from an external source (cmdb with lists of server owners) 4) Nodes Review and edit node attributes Add the concept of node owner and authorized user Change run lists 5) Users & Clients - replace PEM key How we did this: Use go-chef/chef. Easy to use api client. Missing end points & backlog Documentation issues - lots of PRs Tested and developed by spinning up a chef server via a cookbook, included in a Golang repository.

This will be a beginner's guide, but all skillsets are welcome to contribute to the conversation! We'll discuss the different use cases for Terraform testing, such as: - Test Driven Development (TDD) - Integration Testing and CI/CD - Compliance, shifting security left - Production provisioning validation As we know, good testing doesn't just solve CI/CD problems; it solves culture problems. I will seek to convince you of why you need to invest in a good Terraform testing strategy early and how you might have bought into a myth that makes you think you have velocity when you don't (are you running in wet cement). And if you're late to the game and have existing infrastructure with no tests, that's okay, too. Let's talk about how you can reduce stress by adding in some testing now. It's not too late. It takes an IT village to do DevOps, so let's talk about moving security and sanity left with InSpec and Terraform. So many use cases, and so little time. You'll leave this talk ready to implement at least one of them.

As part of that, harnessing the power of our data is on the forefront of all of our minds. Chef is a treasure trove of data. In contrast, ServiceNow acts as a pane of glass for incidents and events among your ecosystem. ServiceNow, in many cases, also houses change data and asset data about your ecosystem. How can you marry the two? By integrating Chef with ServiceNow in different ways you can improve your visibility into your systems, improve ecosystem health, improve the accuracy of your asset data, and improve incident tracking and response. Join me as we discuss the many different ways you can integrate these two systems effectively to get the most out of your data, the benefit that will provide you, and why you would want to do this in the first place.

For example, by default, Ohai collects a node’s platform, platform version, and IP address. The data Ohai collects is stored on the Chef server and can be used for reporting, troubleshooting, and in your recipes. However, Ohai’s real power lies in its plugin interface. You can build custom Ohai plugins that help you to create dynamic recipes and that augment the amount of information you collect about a node. In this webinar, Franklin Webber, Training and Technical Content Lead at Chef, explains Ohai’s plugin structure, walks through the core Ohai plugins, and shows you how to build and test a custom plugin. Finally, he talks about some further refinements you can add to the implementation. Watch to learn about: - Ohai’s plugin structure - How to build an Ohai plugin as well as how to write appropriate unit and integration tests - Resources that allow you to refine how you run Ohai 2017-05-08T20:31:23Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LMNbk_SBzuo/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/LMNbk_SBzuo https://www.chef.io/chefconf-keynotes/desired-state-enforcement Desired State Enforcement (ChefConf Online, June 2020) What if we took a fresh approach to security that treated developers as intelligent human beings capable of making good decisions?

This also avoids the problem where someone can push to a cookbook on the Chef server and also has to commit to source control. Using the VSTS Chef Extension, this pipeline can be built in VSTS so that on every commit all the cookbook tests are run and optionally Test Kitchen tests. Only when these have passed will the release phase publish the cookbook to the Chef Server. Now each developer is held to the same standards as the versions of the cookbook governed by the build pipeline. 2017-11-30T22:20:55Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/10no5x6bi5c/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/10no5x6bi5c https://www.chef.io/webinars/deliver-compliant-systems-with-cloudbolt-and-chef-automate Deliver Compliant Systems With CloudBolt and Chef Automate Installing and configuring multi-node systems are common enterprise tasks that can require a tremendous amount of time and resources.

Automated testing is normally a foreign concept in the Operations/DevOps world, but as you ssh into your servers to make that quick fix or run your updated script (fingers crossed), you might be wondering if there's a better way. A way that gives you the confidence in your script and lets you test those scripts in isolation. There is a better way! Test Driven Infrastructure (TDI) is now possible. I know, it sounds crazy. At this session you'll learn the how, and more importantly the why, of TDI. You'll see how Chef can be tested with Test Kitchen and Chef InSpec. You'll also learn how to improve your feedback cycle with Docker, and using the Docker approach on a CI server. There's even a live demo! Finally, the Ops world collides with the Dev world in true DevOps testing bliss.

Traditional approaches risk slowing software delivery, exacerbating audit pain, and leaving organizations with an incomplete view of security or compliance posture. Fortunately, there is automation. Automation is a cornerstone component of DevSecOps because it allows Developers, Security, and Operations professionals to efficiently deliver value instead of focusing on error-prone, manual, repetitive work. Code serves as a common source of truth, shared as a common language among the teams and can be used to codify and automate infrastructure configuration, security and compliance. In this roundtable webinar, Chris Hughes, CISO/Co-Founder at Aquia, Chris Medina - Solution Architect Sr. Manager at Chef and AJ Yawn – Co-Founder and CEO at ByteChek will discuss DevSecOps practices from soup to nuts. Join us to: Understand what DevSecOps really means Learn how DevSecOps and Automate can help deliver continuous compliance or security Explore how DevSecOps practices can impact organizations from different industries Speakers: - Chris Hughes (Aquia) - AJ Yawn (ByteChek) - Chris Medina (Progress Chef) - Alan Baptista (Progress Chef) 2021-09-30T13:01:36Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Lze5M59lRDU/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/Lze5M59lRDU https://www.chef.io/video/chef-saas---infrastructure-and-compliance-automation-overview Chef SaaS - Infrastructure and Compliance Automation Overview This video provides a quick overview of the key features and benefits of Chef SaaS Automation platform.

With stories of ransomware, hacks, and data breaches making regular headlines, it’s crucial to have confidence in your capability to update systems quickly. There’s no universal prescription for exactly which versions of software you should run. Some organizations make use of public vendor-provided repositories. Others require validating and hosting all software releases internally. Most organizations are somewhere in between the extremes on that spectrum. Regardless of your organizational stance, one common truth from the smallest of start-ups to the largest global enterprises is that applying those updates should be easy. With Chef Automate at your side, it can be! Continuous Automation is a practice that allows you to update your systems both quickly and safely without compromising the reliable service that your customers demand. In this webinar, we’ll dive deep into why this is a historically difficult problem. Chef Automate makes it easy to apply necessary patches and ensure they are vetted against introducing unintended risk to your mission-critical applications. Discover how your teams can spend their time innovating instead of scrambling to patch systems. 2017-08-22T14:58:52Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/plVBjeghaKY/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/plVBjeghaKY https://www.chef.io/chefconf-keynotes/assess-the-security-of-kubernetes-with-inspec Assess the Security of Kubernetes with InSpec In this session we explore how InSpec can be used to validate security and compliance settings on Kubernetes clusters. To scan all relevant security settings on a cluster that is managed in the Cloud this typically involves running checks against the Cloud Provider's API, the Kubernetes API as well as each node's local filesystem. We are going see a demonstration of how to run InSpec for security and compliance validation of a Kubernetes cluster with the example of the CIS benchmark for Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

From application dependency encapsulation to integrations with pipelines to runtime management - not to forget inter-team dynamics and 'throw-it-over-the-fence' issues, there are myriad challenges you face. Throw in bare-metal, containers, VMs and multi-cloud strategies and you'll soon start thinking that travel to Mars might be easier! What if - through the power of automation - all of these complexities could be simplified by defining everything an application needs to be built, run and managed in development alongside the application. What if a single artifact could be packaged that could be delivered to any environment and validated in real-time? And what if all of this could integrate seamlessly with your existing pipeline and infrastructure? That's exactly what Chef's application delivery offering does for you. Join us to learn how Chef is re-defining application delivery and hear from a customer managing distribution of applications to thousands of retail stores without dropping your order! 2020-09-28T19:50:41Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n1FI_1Xx9hA/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/n1FI_1Xx9hA https://www.chef.io/webinars/testing-at-the-edges Testing at the Edges As you become a more sophisticated Chef, the complexity of the recipes you write increases. You find yourself querying data from the Chef server or requesting the state of an operating system component. You’re using complex logic that is abstracted behind helper methods. However, these advanced recipes require equally advanced tests. In this recorded webinar, Franklin Webber, Training and Technical Content Lead at Chef, will show you some approaches to testing complex recipes. He’ll explain mocking and stubbing and then apply those techniques to verify recipes that use search, resource guards, and helper methods.

Key to GDPR adherence is ensuring ‘Privacy by Design’ for all new IT systems. This introduces a number of challenges as we try and shift data privacy to the design and development stages of our IT processes. With Chef Automate and DevOps best practices, you can rethink GDPR compliance and take a code driven approach. By introducing Compliance as Code to define security regulations, you turn these into small, modular, executable blocks, that can be put together to define any security policy. This approach to Continuous Automation allows a business to make GDPR auditing a natural and integrated part of any IT process, and to make Information Security a part of their overall digital transformation. Watch to learn: - How to automate compliance testing and programmatically determine when you’re failing to meet GDPR policies - What it means to treat compliance as code and how it helps you get out of reactive mode and maintain continuous compliance - Where to get started: detect what may be out of compliance with GDPR in production environments today 2017-09-25T18:29:40Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gw_lS8wr64o/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/gw_lS8wr64o https://www.chef.io/customers/target #ChefConf 2014 - Jeff Einhorn, "Pursuing New Ideas in a Large Enterprise" Leading change in a large and profitable enterprise is challenging for a number of reasons ranging from organizational inertia to project prioritization. Patience and persistence will be needed for leaders tasked with driving change while maintaining profitability. Successful leaders must also balance existing corporate success against the opportunity to improve. Pursuing new ideas always comes with the risk of failure, but failing to continuously improve will also lead to quickly losing market share in a very competitive market. For many large organizations, better IT automation offers a great way to enable innovative risk-taking through cost reduction and faster delivery. This talk is a summary of my experiences championing better infrastructure service delivery through automation. I will share the approach we took and the challenges we faced, as well as a few tips learned from mistakes we'd made along the way. 2014-04-19T03:16:54Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UxmGSi3LYoY/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/UxmGSi3LYoY https://www.chef.io/chefconf-keynotes/habitat-step-2 Habitat, Step 2 (ChefConf Online, June 2020) Learning Habitat is easy.

At the same time, in order for companies to effectively compete in the market, the business is demanding more releases into production that need to happen fast while still remaining secure. Change is the biggest cause of outages for most organizations. In fact, configuration drift accounts for 99% of the reasons why DR and HA systems fail. Furthermore, unidentified configuration drift can expose critical vulnerabilities to an organization, high risk of data loss, and extended outages. Hear how and why Texas A&M leverages Chef software to automate their environments, ensuring that servers are configured consistently and able to be validated against the regulatory requirements Universities need to follow. In this webinar, Blake Dworaczyk, Senior IT Professional, and Adam Mikeal, Director of IT, at Texas A&M, will describe the challenges their teams faced in adhering to various regulatory bodies, the automation solution they were able to develop with Chef, and the associated value metrics. 2017-08-11T20:58:01Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EywS-dzXQgE/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/EywS-dzXQgE https://www.chef.io/webinars/integrating-chef-automate-with-servicenow-incident-management Integrating Chef Automate with ServiceNow Incident Management Customers using Chef and InSpec for infrastructure and compliance automation respectively, need a way to respond to automation errors quickly.

Have you ever seen a simple disagreement go rapidly off the rails and turn into a shouting match? Rather than quipping at one-another (like UDP), there is a technique for resolving disputes or conflicts that is more akin to TCP. It is called "Active Listening." In this lightning talk, I'll show you how this technique reduces the likelihood of a shouting match by drastically slowing the escalation and forcing each side to listen and comprehend what the other person is trying to say.

Yet despite the many configuration management tools in use, many still apply inconsistent or manual processes for the auditing of those environments. Whether you’re using Chef, Puppet, Ansible or a mixture of tools, Chef InSpec enables organizations to validate any environment is properly configured and consistently hardened. Chef InSpec is agnostic to system configuration and assesses compliance states based on what system-specific frameworks are applied. Thus organizations are able to apply a consistent mechanism to audit their estate regardless of what methods or tools were used to set them up. In this webinar, you'll see how Chef InSpec can be used to evaluate the compliance posture of an Ansible configured environment. We’ll walk through how to ensure audits are continuously applied to environments, providing actionable insights into the security of your configurations. 2019-05-08T19:14:15Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QfQ83rNN6rw/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/QfQ83rNN6rw https://www.chef.io/chefconf-keynotes/see-how-chef-enables-a-sap-partner-to-efficiently-deliver-sap-s4-hana Rizing to the Challenge: See How Chef Enables An SAP Partner To Efficiently Deliver SAP S/4HANA SAP is a labor-intensive system to install and configure, which slows down our ability to adapt to change.

Enterprises are under increasing pressure to demonstrate to auditors the security and compliance of their entire IT infrastructure. This includes critical network equipment such as switches, routers, and firewalls. Yet the physical network device layer has been one in which the level of automation is low: Gartner estimates that only 10% of network infrastructure has been automated today. Lack of automation around change management and security of network equipment configurations is both a business and security risk. Enter InSpec and the newly-announced integration with Cisco IOS devices. Without changing your workflow for change management of IOS configurations, you can use the InSpec language to ensure both running and saved configs are correct. You can test for and enforce common controls like making sure unused ports are shutdown, VTY users are using SSH, and that system logs are being kept. InSpec's easy-to-use syntax requires no prior programming experience and helps you communicate your compliance level to IT security and audit groups.

You just landed a new opportunity, and architects have tasked you with building the next greatest platform on Kubernetes - and everything will be automated and deployed in containers. Now what? You need a team! Where are you going to find the experience to build this solution? Oh, and by the way - your team starts tomorrow. Building and recruiting teams and training them for the often novel patterns inherent to DevSecOps has been a difficult perennial challenge, especially for larger enterprises with established or rigid staffing processes. DevOps has been well conversed and spread over the past decade, and a lot of core tenets and ideas are finally becoming mature. On the other hand, the technology that drives DevOps and delivering business outcomes continues to evolve at a fast pace. This doesn't lend to the availability of large pools of seasoned experts readily available for these newer essential technologies and methodologies - hiring experts in things like Kubernetes and container orchestration is really challenging. This makes it hard to assemble a productive team on day 1. As a developer lead or project manager, staffing for opportunities comes from three likely sources: The unicorn expert, existing developers and system administrators with varying degrees of experience in the required technologies, or entry level hires with the expectation of on-the-job training. Recruiting is hard, so when it comes to building new teams it's important to invest in the right skills and talent. Each of these has their advantages and challenges: 1. Unicorns are great at executing these complex systems, but they are extremely hard to find and often not ready to move/jump/leap when you need them. 2. Experienced developers and system administrators bring valuable and crucial experience necessary completing your new projects.

Or putting it a different way, have you integrated your device managers, automated your firmware upgrades, and simplified the provisioning of your bare metal servers and storage with Chef? At Hewlett Packard Enterprise we have a wide array of different products; each with their own unique configurations. We were able to simplify and automate the use of our products by integrating them with Chef in the form of resources and drivers. In this session, we will be looking at how we were able to achieve this and how you too can integrate your tools with Chef! 2016-08-22T17:11:22Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FXwqwhcj5xs/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/FXwqwhcj5xs https://www.chef.io/webinars/applying-compliance-frameworks-with-inspec-on-azure-government Applying Compliance Frameworks with InSpec on Azure Government In government, compliance and security is a critical component of our job function. The current state of compliance frameworks are bulky and unwieldy for those inexperienced with OpenSCAP/XML. Microsoft Azure Government cloud and InSpec are designed to provide a common language for security, compliance and automation teams to converge around. Microsoft Azure Government already enables compliance around your infrastructure. Chef Automate and InSpec are designed to enable you to make your systems themselves compliant. In this webinar, we will show you how easy it is to take the existing CIS/STIG controls and translate them into InSpec, enabling teams to operate at velocity by automating their compliance and security posturing into their infrastructure development processes. You will walk away with knowledge on CIS & STIG benchmarks, and how to use InSpec to run security tests against your Azure infrastructure, enabling greater visibility into the state of your systems. This knowledge enables teams to make decisions on how best to remediate their risks in a fast, safe and efficient manner. 2018-01-23T19:51:57Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K5TS_7kbN-M/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/K5TS_7kbN-M https://www.chef.io/chefconf-keynotes/bridging-the-great-divide-using-chef-as-a-spark-for-devops ChefConf 2019: Bridging the Great Divide: Using Chef as a Spark for DevOps Historically, dev teams and ops teams have set on separate sides of the fence. DevOps has been sold as the answer. Bring your teams together and work will be more efficient and harmonious. What happens if you work in a slower moving industry or for a company that is just getting started in this movement? How can you ignite change? Many tools we work with today have been developed with DevOps principles in mind — Chef being one of them. In this talk, I'll highlight how you can use Chef to spark change in your org and get on a path to a more collaborative future. I'll also talk about how using Chef can lead a person on a personal DevOps journey by highlighting my path to Chef enlightenment. 2019-05-29T17:54:42Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VnHJDl7SUjc/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/VnHJDl7SUjc https://www.chef.io/blog/how-much-does-open-source-chef-actually-cost Why Settle for Less?

July 9th, 2019 and January 14th, 2020 mark the final dates for extended support for SQL Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008/R2. For some, this means a lift-and-shift to kick the can down the road. Others will spend valuable time and money rebuilding applications that already work. Yet for another group, it marks the beginning of costly continued support contracts. But End of Support doesn’t have to be a disaster for your IT and Apps teams. In this webinar, we’ll cover how you can turn an end-of-support deadline into an opportunity to drive digital transformation and bring your applications onto modern cloud platforms. Join our presenters from Chef and Microsoft as they demo how Habitat enables you to lift, shift and modernize your legacy applications and move them to the cloud by releasing them from the dependencies of underlying operating systems like Windows Server 2008/R2. In turn, you’ll modernize your application and pave way for cloud-native capabilities, even for the oldest, most complex applications in your stack. 2019-03-26T23:58:21Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/j9-OeMIm8n8/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/j9-OeMIm8n8 https://www.chef.io/blog/why-do-enterprise-organizations-need-communities-of-practice Chef Supermarket Post Mortem Chef Supermarket Post Mortem 2015-08-14T20:33:41Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mgBFdKpOwnQ/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/mgBFdKpOwnQ https://www.chef.io/blog/preparing-for-audits-with-inspec Preparing for Audits With Inspec Preparing for audits can be time-consuming and stressful without automation. Security regressions introduced in-between audits often go uncaptured, and existing tools and practices often scan systems only in production, where identified issues can be costly to remediate. In this webinar, we'll show how InSpec allows you to audit systems continuously across teams and environments to ensure that you always know the compliance impact of every change made to your estate, from minor syntax fixes all the way through major migrations and redesigns. In this webinar you will learn: • How compliance standards can be translated into executable tests with InSpec • How InSpec failures provide actionable insights for remediation with Chef • How Chef Automate can be used to collect, filter, and validate security state across environments 2018-11-05T18:29:15Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0Zk-n-UVCMA/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Zk-n-UVCMA https://www.chef.io/blog/chef-infra-best-practices-1-using-cookstyle-for-infra-client-upgrades Prepare for New Chef Infra Client Releases with Cookstyle Part of the Chef Infra Quickfire Series - Get Your Infra Automation in Shape! 2021-02-10T17:26:31Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Tedv8Wk_sH4/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/Tedv8Wk_sH4 https://www.chef.io/blog/escape-dll-hell-with-the-chef-windows-iis-site-migration-accelerator Chef Microsoft Windows IIS Site Migration Accelerator Demo We see many customers with sites built upon Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS), that are trying to migrate them off of Windows Server 2008/R2 before the January 14, 2020 End-of-Support deadline 2019-09-03T17:08:08Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kXrVs2uFeeI/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/kXrVs2uFeeI https://www.chef.io/blog/watch-writing-elegant-tests Writing Elegant Tests This webinar originally aired live on Dec 20, 2016: https://www.chef.io/webinars/?commid=235083 You’ve probably found that the many tests you write for all your cookbooks require as much or more effort than maintaining the cookbooks themselves. You’ve also probably noticed that there’s quite a bit of boilerplate code required to verify all the recipes, resources, and helpers. The consequence is that much of your test code is duplicated from one cookbook to another. In this webinar, Franklin Webber, Training and Technical Content Lead at Chef, will show you techniques that bring elegance to a cookbook’s tests. You’ll learn how to eliminate redundancy, rebuild common patterns into helpers, and extract those helpers into a portable library. Watch to learn how to: - Refactor tests for more elegant code - Craft reusable testing resources and helpers - Extract testing resources into a Ruby gem Who Should Watch: - Anyone who writes tests for cookbooks 2017-02-01T19:22:19Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5zHbsQa4ivs/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/5zHbsQa4ivs https://www.chef.io/blog/chefs-impact-upon-toyota-financial-services Chef's Impact upon Toyota Financial Services - ChefConf 2018 Keynote In this Q&A session from ChefConf 2018, Nathen Harvey of Chef talks with Mohammad Malik and Carlos Soriano about their automation journey at Toyota Financial.

Patience and persistence will be needed for leaders tasked with driving change while maintaining profitability. Successful leaders must also balance existing corporate success against the opportunity to improve. Pursuing new ideas always comes with the risk of failure, but failing to continuously improve will also lead to quickly losing market share in a very competitive market. For many large organizations, better IT automation offers a great way to enable innovative risk-taking through cost reduction and faster delivery. This talk is a summary of my experiences championing better infrastructure service delivery through automation. I will share the approach we took and the challenges we faced, as well as a few tips learned from mistakes we'd made along the way. 2014-04-19T03:16:54Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UxmGSi3LYoY/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/UxmGSi3LYoY Now We're Cooking With INTUchef!

It requires grit along with a solid understanding of organization change management and group dynamics. I had the privilege of supporting two teams this past year, one that was an operations team learning development practices, and a development team that was discovering operations while introducing continuous delivery. Both approached Chef from different viewpoints, but in the end were united by this common tool set. This talk will cover what I wish I had known a year ago about leading change (with specific examples), including: The ups and downs your team will experience Who to put on your full stack team Why empowering teams is hard Where to focus the adoption of new ideas How to make those ideas stick 2014-05-22T17:51:06Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qj_RgfkpKrA/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/qj_RgfkpKrA https://www.chef.io/blog/augment-your-audits-with-inspec-2-0 Augment your Audits with InSpec 2.0 InSpec launched as a tool to help give development, operations, and infosec teams a single means to define and validate their configuration, security, and compliance requirements.

The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that between 2010-2020 there will be more than 1.4 million computing-related job openings available in the United States. At current graduation rates, we can only fill about 30% of those jobs with U.S. computing graduates. (Ashcraft & Blithe, 2010; Simard, et al., 2008; Voyles et al., 2007) So, how do we get more women in IT? There are so many job openings, yet there are fewer and fewer women CS graduates. In this session we will cover: - Reasons why girls lag behind in Computer Science. - Four specific things you can do to encourage girls in programming. - Our story of teaching Jane, age 7, programming and electronics projects, and making it fun. - Practical ideas on teaching and mentoring girls in your life how to love programming. Our session is ideally suited for parents, caregivers, or anyone who has an interest in mentoring girls and young women to consider an engineering career in IT. About Doug Ireton (Nordstrom): Doug Ireton is an Infrastructure Engineer at Nordstrom, working on automating all the things with Chef and Ruby. In his spare time he teaches his kids programming and electronics. About Jane Ireton (Ireton): Jane Ireton is 7 years old. She loves learning to program, Arduino, and devouring books. She is also a big fan of the Illiad and the Odyssey. Watch more from the 2014 Velocity Conference: http://goo.gl/JoMfvo Find out more about Velocity: http://velocityconf.com/ Don't miss an upload!

From application dependency encapsulation to integrations with pipelines to runtime management - not to forget inter-team dynamics and 'throw-it-over-the-fence' issues, there are myriad challenges you face. Throw in bare-metal, containers, VMs and multi-cloud strategies and you'll soon start thinking that travel to Mars might be easier! What if - through the power of automation - all of these complexities could be simplified by defining everything an application needs to be built, run and managed in development alongside the application. What if a single artifact could be packaged that could be delivered to any environment and validated in real-time? And what if all of this could integrate seamlessly with your existing pipeline and infrastructure? That's exactly what Chef's application delivery offering does for you. Join us to learn how Chef is re-defining application delivery and hear from a customer managing distribution of applications to thousands of retail stores without dropping your order! 2020-09-28T19:50:41Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n1FI_1Xx9hA/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/n1FI_1Xx9hA https://www.chef.io/blog/automated-application-rollback-with-chef Rapid Rollback with Chef Habitat Automated Rollback in Chef Habitat makes it easier than ever to restore an application to its last working state 2020-05-18T16:11:11Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FKG51phPEGc/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/FKG51phPEGc https://www.chef.io/blog/integrating-chef-vsts-builds Integrating Chef into your VSTS Builds When developing and testing a cookbook, it is recommended that a build pipeline is used to ensure recommendations and standards are being followed and that tests are always run. This also avoids the problem where someone can push to a cookbook on the Chef server and also has to commit to source control. Using the VSTS Chef Extension, this pipeline can be built in VSTS so that on every commit all the cookbook tests are run and optionally Test Kitchen tests. Only when these have passed will the release phase publish the cookbook to the Chef Server. Now each developer is held to the same standards as the versions of the cookbook governed by the build pipeline. 2017-11-30T22:20:55Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/10no5x6bi5c/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/10no5x6bi5c https://www.chef.io/blog/migrating-legacy-windows-applications-with-habitat Migrating Legacy Windows Applications with Habitat Packaging 13 year old technology and running in modern compute environments. Learn more on Learn Chef: https://learn.chef.io/tracks/habitat-build#/ Most cloud migration journeys at some point involve the need to migrate legacy applications from outdated and unsupported versions of Windows to more modern operating system. This is never a simple task. Attempting such a migration using manual methodologies simply does not scale and cannot be easily replicated across environments. Habitat introduces a level of application automation that allows one to package almost any application, even legacy Windows applications, and load them into a Supervisor runtime running on modern infrastructure. This codifies application installation and configuration in a way that can be easily repeated sometimes dramatically reducing the time it takes to raise new application environments from scratch. This recorded webinar focuses on two legacy applications: SQL Server 2005 and an ASP.NET 2.0 application last updated in 2007 that depends on COM technology to connect to SQL Server. We will package both applications using a PowerShell based Habitat build plan and deploy them to Windows Server Core 2016 running inside of a Docker container. Watch to learn how: - Habitat approaches application automation differently from traditional configuration management - To package the different components of a Legacy application into a deployable artifact - Habitat allows these components to discover and interact with one another at build time 2018-08-11T20:27:58Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0A-y63rVBfs/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/0A-y63rVBfs https://www.chef.io/blog/continuous-automation-texas-am-university Infrastructure and Compliance as Code for Universities Presented by: Blake Dworaczyk, Senior IT Professional, Texas A&M Adam Mikeal, Director of IT, Texas A&M Nick Rycar, Technical Product Marketing Manager, Chef Vulnerabilities like WannaCry, managing Server Drift, and complying with audits per regulatory demands required of Federal and State funded organizations like universities are extremely challenging and laborious to manage. At the same time, in order for companies to effectively compete in the market, the business is demanding more releases into production that need to happen fast while still remaining secure. Change is the biggest cause of outages for most organizations. In fact, configuration drift accounts for 99% of the reasons why DR and HA systems fail. Furthermore, unidentified configuration drift can expose critical vulnerabilities to an organization, high risk of data loss, and extended outages. Hear how and why Texas A&M leverages Chef software to automate their environments, ensuring that servers are configured consistently and able to be validated against the regulatory requirements Universities need to follow. In this webinar, Blake Dworaczyk, Senior IT Professional, and Adam Mikeal, Director of IT, at Texas A&M, will describe the challenges their teams faced in adhering to various regulatory bodies, the automation solution they were able to develop with Chef, and the associated value metrics. 2017-08-11T20:58:01Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EywS-dzXQgE/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/EywS-dzXQgE https://www.chef.io/blog/upgrading-the-chef-infra-client Using the Chef Client Updater Cookbook on Windows Practical guidance for ensuring the Chef Infra Client is up to date across your estate 2020-06-03T19:26:57Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zxZZ2rct15Q/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/zxZZ2rct15Q https://www.chef.io/blog/breaking-technology-silos-at-the-nfl-with-chef Breaking Technology Silos - ChefConf 2016 Chef is an amazing tool but to really unlock its potential you need to look at how it integrates with the rest of your technology. This presentation is the story of how the NFL used Chef to transform its siloed infrastructure and practices into something more agile, automated, and reliable. This presentation will talk about the last 2 years of Chef at the NFL, including how we integrated it with our virtualization infrastructure, load balancers, storage, and application performance monitoring. We'll talk about some things that Chef taught us about infrastructure as code that we were able to apply to other areas, and things we learned to make our cookbooks easier to manage across groups. 2016-08-22T17:09:01Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q8U3GODyEpU/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q8U3GODyEpU https://www.chef.io/blog/habitat-rails-and-postgres-in-3-different-ways Rails_Habitat_Part_4 Deploying a Rails application using Habitat, running the application in a Docker container and the database in a postgres database cluster created with the core/postgresql habitat package (available on the public depot). 2017-08-20T00:12:38Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2uREwe4vFWE/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/2uREwe4vFWE Rails_Habitat_Part_3 Deploying a Rails application using Habitat, running the application in a Docker container and the database as an AWS RDS instance. 2017-08-20T00:08:59Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/v9XheJWUwrk/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/v9XheJWUwrk Rails_Habitat_Part_2 Deploying a Rails application using Habitat, running the application in a Docker container and the database in a Docker container (for demo). 2017-08-20T00:08:56Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gNNiRXNrcO0/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/gNNiRXNrcO0 Rails_Habitat_Part_1 Creating a basic Rails application to package with Habitat and run in different infrastructure configurations 2017-08-19T23:59:44Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8oz0-Q4bwQA/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/8oz0-Q4bwQA https://www.chef.io/blog/chef-cfgmgmtcamp-2018 The Future of Configuration Management - Adam Jacob http://www.CityTV.nl http://cfgmgmtcamp.eu 2018-02-10T11:32:56Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9M-BEGzwtQM/hqdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/9M-BEGzwtQM https://www.chef.io/blog/chef-announcements-new-eas-release-chef-infra-client-17-and-community-celebration-event Chef Enterprise Automation Stack Spring 2021 Release Chef EAS includes Chef’s full stack of enterprise infrastructure, application and compliance automation technologies for delivering change quickly, repeatedly, and securely.

Using modern automation practices, organizations can dramatically reduce the burden of compliance audits and policy enforcement while gaining insight and visibility over their IT systems. In this webinar, we’ll dive into how FinServ IT operations, compliance, and security teams can transform how they approach audits through the adoption of continuous compliance. By turning your compliance, security, and other policy requirements into automated tests, your teams can significantly reduce time spent on compliance activities, freeing up resources to innovate and drive business value. To finish the presentation, we’ll demo how InSpec and Chef Automate align to frameworks such as FFIEC standards, and how you can start enabling continuous compliance in your organization today. 2019-02-25T19:50:58Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cyHZJX3LWMY/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/cyHZJX3LWMY https://www.chef.io/blog/applying-compliance-on-azure-government-with-inspec Applying Compliance Frameworks with InSpec on Azure Government In government, compliance and security is a critical component of our job function. The current state of compliance frameworks are bulky and unwieldy for those inexperienced with OpenSCAP/XML. Microsoft Azure Government cloud and InSpec are designed to provide a common language for security, compliance and automation teams to converge around. Microsoft Azure Government already enables compliance around your infrastructure. Chef Automate and InSpec are designed to enable you to make your systems themselves compliant. In this webinar, we will show you how easy it is to take the existing CIS/STIG controls and translate them into InSpec, enabling teams to operate at velocity by automating their compliance and security posturing into their infrastructure development processes. You will walk away with knowledge on CIS & STIG benchmarks, and how to use InSpec to run security tests against your Azure infrastructure, enabling greater visibility into the state of your systems. This knowledge enables teams to make decisions on how best to remediate their risks in a fast, safe and efficient manner. 2018-01-23T19:51:57Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K5TS_7kbN-M/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/K5TS_7kbN-M https://www.chef.io/blog/rule-cloud-with-chef-and-windows Validating Chef Recipes with ChefSpec and PowerShell on Linux Check out Matt Wrock, Software Engineer at Chef showing how to use ChefSpec and PowerShell on Linux to validate Chef recipes on non-Windows platforms Learn more at: Announcement blog https://aka.ms/hosoyc GitHub project https://github.com/powershell/powershell PowerShell Home Page http://microsoft.com/powershell 2016-08-18T16:21:00Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ogC2O0rY2fQ/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/ogC2O0rY2fQ https://www.chef.io/blog/automate-compliance-aws-opsworks-chef-automate Automate Compliance with AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate Reduce the risk and increase the efficiency of your AWS applications by automating compliance with OpsWorks for Chef Automate (OWCA).

The OWCA subscription includes a collection of profiles, including many based on the Center for Internet Security benchmarks, or you can create profiles for your own custom requirements. Experts from Chef and AWS will walk through how to: - Move from manual compliance to continuous compliance by frequently conducting assessments and managing compliance as code. This means that you can bake compliance into your Chef workflow. - Select from multiple pre-packaged profiles that meet industry benchmarks, available in Profile Store. Further, you can customize these profiles to fulfill your information security needs. - Use the Compliance pane, which offers a unified dashboard for identifying issues, remediating them, and tracking progress. In addition, you can view Scan Results for various Nodes and Profiles. - Describe compliance controls in InSpec, an open-source testing framework, and integrate these automated tests into any stage of your deployment pipeline. 2018-02-15T23:26:22Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4dvN9IsKSgc/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/4dvN9IsKSgc https://www.chef.io/blog/chefconf-2015-devops-velocity-and-community Standard Bank: Our DevOps Journey - ChefConf 2015 ChefConf 2015 welcomed 1500 attendees and 42 sponsors over our four day event. 2015-04-10T16:54:15Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/A38-2xxuc2o/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/A38-2xxuc2o Delivery With Chef - ChefConf 2015 In this talk, Seth Falcon, GM, Delivery at Chef, discusses our experience building a continuous delivery solution at Chef, describes the philosophy behind the workflow we encoded, and shares a demo of the results of our efforts. 2015-04-08T04:57:09Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fMyWM2LkwBk/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/fMyWM2LkwBk Chef Style DevOps Kungfu - Adam Jacob - ChefConf 2015 Keynote For more info, see https://github.com/chef/devops-kungfu 2015-04-03T18:51:54Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_DEToXsgrPc/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/_DEToXsgrPc https://www.chef.io/blog/cheftalks-culture-and-diversity-in-devops-wrachel-chalmers-and-jez-humble Culture & Diversity in DevOps Rachel Chalmers of Ignition Partners and Jez Humble of ThoughtWorks discuss the need for diversity and the focus on culture in DevOps. 2014-06-25T22:22:12Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cd1-t56kk54/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cd1-t56kk54 https://www.chef.io/blog/do-change-with-bill-melinda-gates-foundation "Do Change" with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation - ChefConf 2018 Keynote The theme of ChefConf 2018 was “Do Change”, and nobody embodies the possibilities of change for global impact like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Fueled by desire to be fast to market and to realize the economics of Cloud adoption, DevOps practices are becoming more and more commonplace across companies of all sizes to accommodate modern cloud application (microservices) needs. As these organizations invest in their people and processes to enable modern DevOps and look at the cloud to deliver business value, a thorough and innovative open source strategy has become a key factor in evaluating the platforms out there. Microsoft is building an open cloud in Azure, where more than 1 in 4 virtual machines run Linux. A wide array of partners like Chef are bringing DevOps practices to life in the cloud where we work with partners like Docker and Mesosphere to build solutions that help customers deliver real value in exploring industry trends, such as Azure Container Service. In this session, we'll share why we are betting on open source in the cloud, how we enable, integrate, release and contribute to it and why it's important for your DevOps practices, wherever you are in your journey. 2016-08-17T21:40:13Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/h8MKp0TJ_q4/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/h8MKp0TJ_q4 https://www.chef.io/blog/a-trip-to-the-wayback-machine-devops-kung-fu-and-throwback-t-shirts Chef Style DevOps Kungfu - Adam Jacob - ChefConf 2015 Keynote For more info, see https://github.com/chef/devops-kungfu 2015-04-03T18:51:54Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_DEToXsgrPc/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/_DEToXsgrPc https://www.chef.io/blog/test-driven-cookbook-development-in-2017 Test Driven Cookbook Development 2017 Build better cookbooks faster by incorporating tests into the cookbook development process. Tests give you reliable feedback and help you catch bugs early. The Chef Development Kit (Chef DK) includes all the tools you need to write both unit and integration tests. Early last year I delivered a webinar focused on Test Driven Cookbook Development. Since then the Chef Development Kit (Chef DK) has seen 26 releases (2.3.4). InSpec has matured as an incredibly powerful testing and compliance language with 87 resources to describe systems. Most importantly it has become the default integration testing framework when you use the Chef DK cookbook generator. ChefSpec has also seen a number of releases over the past year-and-a-half maintaining its relevance as the unit testing framework for cookbooks. 2017-09-26T20:34:31Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qx2l4EELuGY/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/qx2l4EELuGY https://www.chef.io/blog/learn-chef-rally-new-learning-site-chef-practitioners Introduction to Learn Chef Rally: https://learn.chef.io/ What exactly is Learn Chef Rally?

With stories of ransomware, hacks, and data breaches making regular headlines, it’s crucial to have confidence in your capability to update systems quickly. There’s no universal prescription for exactly which versions of software you should run. Some organizations make use of public vendor-provided repositories. Others require validating and hosting all software releases internally. Most organizations are somewhere in between the extremes on that spectrum. Regardless of your organizational stance, one common truth from the smallest of start-ups to the largest global enterprises is that applying those updates should be easy. With Chef Automate at your side, it can be! Continuous Automation is a practice that allows you to update your systems both quickly and safely without compromising the reliable service that your customers demand. In this webinar, we’ll dive deep into why this is a historically difficult problem. Chef Automate makes it easy to apply necessary patches and ensure they are vetted against introducing unintended risk to your mission-critical applications. Discover how your teams can spend their time innovating instead of scrambling to patch systems. 2017-08-22T14:58:52Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/plVBjeghaKY/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/plVBjeghaKY https://www.chef.io/blog/transforming-it-operations-with-chef-and-schuberg-philis Transforming IT operations into a platform for innovation - Joris Van Lieshout, Schuberg Philis Schuberg Philis uses Chef to automate the mission-critical landscape of their customers.

As the growth of applications increases year over year, the most successful companies will be those that understand and enable the strategic role developers play in their organizations. In order to enable this success, Enterprise IT organizations must evolve their practices. Groups that provide a classic “Shared Services” model must reshape their goals, processes, and offerings to keep up with this growth. Traditional models focus on implementing risk mitigation and operational standards. A modern “Developer Services” model focuses on empowering and enabling developers to deliver ideas to market quickly. In this webinar, we cover how an enterprise shifts to offering effective Developer Services. We examine the requirements for IT organizations to develop those services and effectively scale them to thousands of development teams. Watch this webinar on building effective Developer Services organizations and learn how Chef’s Open Source project for Application Automation, Habitat, can help you achieve those goals. 2017-07-26T03:54:48Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4GOczQa23M4/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/4GOczQa23M4 https://www.chef.io/blog/using-inspec-with-cisco-ios-devices Using InSpec with Cisco IOS Devices Bringing a DevOps approach to network device compliance. Enterprises are under increasing pressure to demonstrate to auditors the security and compliance of their entire IT infrastructure. This includes critical network equipment such as switches, routers, and firewalls. Yet the physical network device layer has been one in which the level of automation is low: Gartner estimates that only 10% of network infrastructure has been automated today. Lack of automation around change management and security of network equipment configurations is both a business and security risk. Enter InSpec and the newly-announced integration with Cisco IOS devices. Without changing your workflow for change management of IOS configurations, you can use the InSpec language to ensure both running and saved configs are correct. You can test for and enforce common controls like making sure unused ports are shutdown, VTY users are using SSH, and that system logs are being kept. InSpec's easy-to-use syntax requires no prior programming experience and helps you communicate your compliance level to IT security and audit groups.

In this project, I use Packer, Terraform, Github Actions, and Chef to deploy a highly configurable JupyterHub instance for academics, educators, or researchers looking for a cost-effective, scalable environment for data analysis. Chef - https://www.chef.io/ - A configuration management tool for defining infrastructure as code (IAC), making the process of managing configurations and system state automated and testable. JupyterHub - https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ - A python application that runs in the cloud or on your own hardware, and makes it possible to serve a pre-configured data science environment to multiple users. Terraform - https://www.terraform.io/ - An open-source infrastructure as code software tool that provides a consistent CLI workflow to manage hundreds of cloud services. Terraform codifies cloud APIs into declarative configuration files. Packer - https://www.packer.io/ - An open source tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration. #ChefHackathon #AutomateForGood 2021-10-25T06:32:36Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OfqXgwJsspw/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/OfqXgwJsspw Automating Data Analytics Environments This small demo shows how easy is to build Data Analytics environments using Chef Infra, Chef InSpec, Terraform, GitHub and the brand new Databricks resource provider.

The current state of compliance frameworks are bulky and unwieldy for those inexperienced with OpenSCAP/XML. Microsoft Azure Government cloud and InSpec are designed to provide a common language for security, compliance and automation teams to converge around. Microsoft Azure Government already enables compliance around your infrastructure. Chef Automate and InSpec are designed to enable you to make your systems themselves compliant. In this webinar, we will show you how easy it is to take the existing CIS/STIG controls and translate them into InSpec, enabling teams to operate at velocity by automating their compliance and security posturing into their infrastructure development processes. You will walk away with knowledge on CIS & STIG benchmarks, and how to use InSpec to run security tests against your Azure infrastructure, enabling greater visibility into the state of your systems. This knowledge enables teams to make decisions on how best to remediate their risks in a fast, safe and efficient manner. 2018-01-23T19:51:57Z https://i.ytimg.com/vi/K5TS_7kbN-M/sddefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/embed/K5TS_7kbN-M STIG Automation with Chef and InSpec - ChefConf 2017 John Ray, Sr. Consult at Shadow-Soft - ChefConf 2017 The DoD's Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) are the baseline for a vast majority of companies, But with 9 different profiles, and hundreds of individual action items how do you even begin? Join me as we look at how to use InSpec to ingest STIG data, how to read and determine what STIGs apply to you, and how to remediate those STIGs with Chef.
