We are proudly announcing the availability of Chef Desktop, desktop management software that enables IT managers to transform their own configuration and compliance requirements as human-readable code, in order to deploy, manage and secure entire fleets of laptops, desktops, or workstations from a central location.

Building on Chef’s long history of innovation in compliance automation, Chef Compliance, available today, builds on Chef InSpec to help enterprises maintain compliance and prevent security incidents across heterogeneous hybrid and multi-cloud estates while improving speed and efficiency.

Chef Habitat is an open source automation product for defining, packaging, and delivering applications to any environment, regardless of operating system or platform. In the first half of 2020, we’ve rolled out a number of new features in Habitat, including building out integrations with Chef Automate.

Today we’re pleased to announce the launch of our integration with ServiceNow’s Configuration Management Database (CMDB). With this release, every time Chef Infra gathers information about a system, it sends that data to an associated Configuration Item (CI) in ServiceNow’s CMDB in addition to Chef Automate.

Today at ChefConf Online we took the wraps off Learn Chef, our new online learning platform for the Chef community. Three years ago we launched Learn Chef Rally, which brought together our online training in a single, no-cost offering.

Welcome to ChefConf Online week! On the surface, this year’s event looks a lot different than years past.

We recognize that our annual ChefConf event has a significant financial impact on the host community including the hotel, shops, restaurants, tourist destinations and small businesses that our guests enjoy during their visit.

We’re down to the final week of the month of ChefConf live recording sessions! It’s a challenge to figure out exactly what to call the track that isn’t explicitly focused on a Chef product, but the gist is that we want to bring you some sessions on stuff that is freaking cool.
