Chef Server HA: The best way to run Chef Server

We’re very pleased to announce that Chef Server HA is now available in full release.

Chef Server HA is a completely new high availability (HA) architecture designed for mission-critical performance and reliability. It replaces the HA topologies that were previously available as part of the Chef Server package.

Chef Server HA provides:

• A high degree of fault tolerance
• Easy installation, operation, and maintenance
• Support for virtualized environments
• Synchronous search writes – data written to Chef servers is indexed much more quickly
• Native backup and restore tools that do not impact service availability

Learn more about the new Chef Server HA topology at the Chef Docs site.Chef Server HA is a new install of the Chef server. Users must migrate their Chef server data in order to take advantage of the new architecture.
