‘Free’ Chef Has Expertise ‘Cost’ Open-source Chef is a powerful starting point but scaling it takes the right expertise and support. 📖 Here's the Chef open-source software advice for you 👉🏼 https://prgress.co/4fMbjcI #ProgressChef

Infrastructure teams are doing more automation than ever But somehow, operating it at scale is getting harder More jobs. More workflows. More scripts Yet less visibility, less control, and more time spent stitching things together The problem isn’t automation It’s how we’re trying to manage it As systems grow, task-based workflows start to break down What teams really need is a way to operate infrastructure as a connected, governed system This blog breaks down that shift and what modern operations should look like Read it here: https://prgress.co/4v2Hc5G #ProgressChef #InfrastructureAutomation

Save this post! Here’s the Enterprise config management checklist: ☑︎ Can it handle complex logic cleanly? ☑︎ Is testing native and repeatable? (Test Kitchen) ☑︎ Is compliance enforced as code? (InSpec) ☑︎ Does it scale without central bottlenecks? (pull architecture) ☑︎ Does it reduce tool sprawl? (Chef 360) Check out this detailed whitepaper that helps you evaluate multiple infrastructure automation tools: https://prgress.co/4tuH4u8 Thank us later! #ProgressChef #InfrastructureAutomation

For a 1,000‑node environment, the hidden cost of OSS Chef can reach $440K–$660K per year. This guide breaks down where the money really goes and why Progress Chef 360 SaaS delivers 57% lower TCO! 📘 Download the TCO guide: https://prgress.co/4csIf6y #ProgressChef #OSSChef

Your Kubernetes team is moving fast. But do you actually know how they're making changes? Audit logs show what happened. They rarely show why. That's the governance gap nobody talks about. Most teams fix this by adding more permissions. That just makes the problem bigger. kubeconfig files end up on every machine. "Temporary" access becomes permanent. And one bad day can mean a serious incident. There's a better way. Progress Chef 360 introduced something called intent-driven execution. Developers say what they want done. Courier Runner does it — inside the cluster, under strict RBAC. No credentials distributed. No SSH. No guessing who changed what. Every action: policy-driven, auditable, repeatable. We walked through a real scaling operation to show exactly how it works. Drop a 🙋 in the comments if your team is still using kubectl directly — would love to discuss.

Most teams already rely on playbooks, manifests and scripts that get the job done. The problem shows up later, when execution varies across users, access methods, or environments. Instead of rewriting automation or forcing standardization on authoring tools, focus on governing execution with standard run paths, centrally applied policy and RBAC and full audit trails for every run. Read this blog to know how you can make your outcomes predictable. ➡ https://prgress.co/4nfve5D #ProgressChef #DevOps #ChefvsAnsiblevsPuppet

Zero Trust shouldn’t stop at identity. It must include automation execution. Progress Chef 360 centralizes and authorizes every automation run, enforcing least privilege, eliminating persistent credentials and delivering built‑in auditability. Know who ran what, where and why by design. Read more: https://prgress.co/4dJvXr5 #ProgressChef #SecurityAutomation #Compliance
