Why learn Chef?
Chef is a powerful automation platform that provides a way to define infrastructure as code, it can also be termed as programmable infrastructure. Whether you’re operating on the cloud, on-premises, or in a hybrid environment, Chef automates how infrastructure is deployed, configured and managed across your network. Chef uses a pure Ruby, a domain-specific language for writing system configurations. The types of automation produced through Chef, irrespective of size are:
- Infrastructure Configuration
- Application deployment·
- Configuration management across your network
Chef is a popular tool and a strong choice for experienced DevOps teams who would want to automate their deployment and development infrastructure. Training in Chef will enable businesses to accelerate software delivery, by automating IT infrastructure; increase service resiliency, infrastructure automation improves a system’s resiliency and risk management.

This also explains why a survey by RightScale.com found that Chef is the most popular DevOps tool used by 32% of its respondents.
