Chef Enterprise Automation Stack (EAS) is a comprehensive automation platform designed to streamline and secure the entire application lifecycle across diverse infrastructures. It empowers DevSecOps teams to efficiently build, deploy, manage, and secure applications, regardless of their operating environment. EAS integrates four powerful components: Chef Automate, Chef Habitat, Chef Inspec, and Chef Infra, providing a unified solution for infrastructure automation, application packaging, security testing, and compliance enforcement. By enabling organizations to define their entire technology stack as code, EAS facilitates continuous delivery at scale, reduces compliance testing time, and promotes collaboration between application, operations, and security teams.
