Chef Enterprise Automation Stack
Enterprise Automation Software to Continuously Deliver Secure Applications and Infrastructure
Chef® Enterprise Automation Stack™ (EAS) provides teams implementing DevSecOps with a common approach for automating application delivery, infrastructure configuration and compliance auditing.
Comprehensive Application, Security and Infrastructure Delivery Automation with Chef EAS
Continuous delivery accelerates the rate at which companies can promote software across environments. More testing is done during the build phase with the idea that the sooner you can find and fix defects, the faster teams can release quality applications. But scaling continuous delivery across all applications, all change events and all environments is not easy; it requires an integrated automation stack that can be used across an ever-increasing number of technologies in rapidly growing environments.
Chef Enterprise Automation Stack (EAS) is an automation platform for DevSecOps teams to build, deploy, manage, and secure any application running on any infrastructure:
- Align teams via a common set of tools and processes
- Embed compliance testing in every stage of the technology lifecycle
- Enable consistency, velocity, and security in application delivery to any infrastructure

Validate Changes and Ensure Compliance Across all Environments with DevOps Dashboards
Purpose-built DevOps dashboards are included to provide visibility and validation across infrastructure and applications. In addition to providing real-time views of all infrastructure and applications, Chef Automate provides:
- Filtering and analysis capabilities within existing security and compliance dashboards.
- Fine grained, role-based access control for data surfaced within these dashboards.
Build Applications and Infrastructure that Are Secure by Design
EAS lets teams test the security and compliance status across all their environments and makes it easy to detect and correct issues before they reach production. With continuous visibility into compliance status, organizations are always audit-ready and can quickly respond to vulnerabilities as they arise.
Harden Infrastructure
Ensure infrastructure remains consistent, compliant, and secure. Apply CIS-certified profiles to continuously test for weaknesses and remediate when needed.
Avoid Costly Security Issues
Test for security and compliance early in the development process when problems are easiest and least expensive to fix.
Enter Audits with Confidence
Avoid compliance gaps by continuously checking compliance status and correcting issues.
Test-driven Infrastructure Configuration for the Entire Enterprise
Turning configuration into code lets customers manage workflow the same way for the infrastructure your applications depend on. Configuration change testing becomes parallel to application change testing. Test-driven development identifies defects through the unit test process; test-driven infrastructure lets you test the changes you make to configurations before unleashing them on production. Chef EAS enables teams to apply the principles of test-driven infrastructure as code across their entire IT estate from smart devices running on the edge to on-premises servers to workloads running in the cloud.
We use the entire Chef Enterprise Automation Stack. We use each tool where it’s fit for purpose and found that using them all together really gives us a whole end to end solution.
