Configuration Management with Chef
Configuration Management with Chef
Master your team in infrastructure automation and witness manual and repetitive task reduction
Program Overview
Chef is a configuration management technology used to automate infrastructure provisioning. It is developed based on the Ruby DSL language.
In the industry, Chef is used to deploy and manage servers and applications in-house and on the cloud. Chef uses a declarative language called "chef recipes" to describe how a system should be configured. It uses a client-server architecture, where the Chef server acts as the central hub for configuration data, and the Chef client runs on each node and applies the configuration.
The Configuration Management with Chef professional course offered by Uptut is designed to help teams master the concepts and best practices of configuration management using Chef. The course is taught by experienced instructors who have worked in the industry and have hands-on experience with Chef.
