Main Session: Chef Automate Overview - Matt Ray

Abstract:

Chef Automate, now available through the Azure Marketplace, is a collaborative platform for managing the state of your Linux, Unix and Windows infrastructure no matter where it is.

Built on top of the open source Chef and InSpec projects, it is the integration of configuration management, compliance, visualisation and continuous integration/delivery.

This session will cover the open source foundations of Chef Automate and a demo finding a compliance violation, patching it, and deploying the fix for an application stack through Automate's CI/CD workflow.
