Progress Chef (formerly Chef Software) provides infrastructure automation solutions to automate the configuration, deployment, and management of cloud infrastructure.
One of their key offerings is Chef Infra, an open-source automation platform that allows users to define and maintain their infrastructure as code. By describing desired system configurations using a domain-specific language (DSL) called Chef DSL (built on top of Ruby), organizations can automate the provisioning and configuration of servers, ensuring consistency across environments.
In addition to Chef Infra, Chef offers other products in its portfolio, including Chef Automate for continuous automation and compliance, Chef Habitat for application automation, and Chef Workstation for managing Chef code and workflows.
Chef follows a subscription-based model and is available through cloud marketplaces such as Azure and AWS.
The company was acquired by software developer Progress in 2020 for USD 220 million. Despite the renaming, the company continues to operate independently.
Key customers and partnerships
Chef Infra’s key customers include IBM, Meta, Rakuten, Target, and SAP.
Chef has partnerships with most major cloud service providers. These include AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and VMware.
Funding and financials
Chef’s latest funding was in 2015 from a USD 40 million Series E round led by DFJ Growth.
