A new year is upon us, and with it comes a lot of new changes from the Chef team. First, you may have noticed that we’ve officially updated our branding to Progress Chef. Also, you’re about to witness a shift in how we stream.

Redefining endpoint compliance by codifying your fleet

A critical update for Chef Automate was released on Wednesday, January 5, 2022, and should be applied by Monday, January 17, 2022, for any customers using Chef Automate in conjunction with AWS RDS to ensure service is not disrupted.

Hosted Chef, your gateway to managing Chef infrastructure in the cloud, is set to receive an upgrade to its database. In order to facilitate this upgrade, we will be migrating all content to a new version of PostgreSQL. We will also be upgrading the application to Chef Infra server 14.10.

On December 9, 2021 Progress Software was made aware of a critical vulnerability in a common Java logging library call Log4j.  Links to additional resources describing the vulnerability and its origin are included at the end of this post.

Take control of your heterogeneous endpoint configurations through Chef Desktop

Today we’re announcing new branding for Chef and all our products, and we wanted to take a second to introduce the new look and feel.

Now that we have wrapped up our hackathon and announced our winners, we thought it would be fun to dive into some of the details of the winning projects and share them with you. Again, these ideas were awesome. If you got a chance to tune into our live stream on Twitch or YouTube yesterday, you know that one of the projects is directly in line with a feature on the Chef Infra Client product roadmap. How cool!

First off, I’d like to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated in our hackathon, and to DevPost for teaming up with us to make it all happen. Whether or not your project made the final list, all participants who submitted a valid project will receive a swag pack which consists of a t-shirt, some cool stickers, and a Badgr badge.
