Chef Automate helps companies achieve continuous automation across their software delivery process. It is a single platform that allows companies to detect issues, correct problems, and automate workflows to improve speed, efficiency, and reduce risk. The platform provides visibility across an organization's entire infrastructure and enables centralized management of compliance policies. It treats infrastructure and application configurations as code, allowing for consistent, automated updates at scale.
