Abstract
Organizations increasingly rely on DevOps practices to streamline software development and operations in today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape. Effective configuration management is critical to achieving this scalability, and Chef has emerged as one of the most powerful tools in this domain. This research explores the potential of Chef as a configuration management solution for scalable DevOps practices. We delve into its problem-solving capabilities, application in various environments, and impact on business operations. By analyzing Chef’s ability to automate processes and ensure consistency across platforms, this study highlights Chef’s scope in enhancing operational efficiency and reducing downtime.
