Description
Welcome to this course. Chef is a platform for the DevOps workflow, and is used to automate and manage it all–infrastructure, run-time environments and applications. The most enduring and transformative companies use Chef to become fast, efficient, and innovative software-driven organizations. Creating, maintaining, and upgrading a scalable infrastructure requires significant effort and resources. Time spent on repetitive daily tasks can consume a big chunk of an IT/system engineer’s bandwidth, and using automation tools to manage infrastructure can drastically improve efficiency and free up your time. Chef aims to solve automation across the enterprise, and across functional roles, to provide an environment where we can build, deploy, and manage any software, anywhere.In this course, you'll learn:Understand the Chef ecosystem and its associated componentsManage and scale your cloud infrastructure by automating configuration managementInstall all the components of Chef, including troubleshooting instructionsModel your infrastructure using Chef Make infrastructure configurations testable, portable, and auditable with ChefBuild code to configure and apply patches in any environment, create secure and compliant applications, and modernize legacy applications without replacing themTest your cookbooks with Test KitchenLearn How to Create Custom Ohai Create recipes to provision, harden, and maintain the configuration state of servers in any environmentDiscover how Chef InSpec is used to test and audit your applications and infrastructureBuild applications to run anywhere and manage them throughout their lifecycle using Chef HabitatCreate a filterable, auditable dashboard and use it to visualize real-time data and server metrics and scan traditional servers, VMs, and cloud environmentsExplore various aspects of the Chef APIExtend the functionalities of Chef Provide dashboard analytics for infrastructure automation with Chef Automate
