Chef vs Puppet: Choosing the Right Infrastructure Automation Solution

Infrastructure automation is at an inflection point. Many teams find themselves spending more time maintaining their automation platforms than delivering safe, repeatable changes. As a result, it leads to increased operational overhead, unpredictable rollout behavior and extra effort to assemble audit evidence. Join Progress Chef experts for an interactive session comparing leading configuration management approaches, like Puppet, and exploring how the Chef unified automation model addresses these challenges. We’ll examine common areas where complexity builds up in traditional environments, why rollout reliability and audit readiness become more challenging over time and how the Chef solution simplifies operations through validation, compliance checks and SaaS delivery. You’ll learn how organizations adopt Chef DevOps as a long-term automation strategy beyond their current solution. Additionally, our panelists will discuss: How validating changes before production improves rollout safety and consistency Where operational overhead typically increases in product-specific automation environments How compliance and audit evidence can be produced during execution, not reconstructed later Why reducing automation platform overhead leads to measurable efficiency gains How on-premises or hybrid cloud deployments matter and why it’s good to have options Register Now
