6. Chef
▪ Manages deployment
and on-going automation
▪ Define reusable resources
and infrastructure state as code
▪ Scale elegantly from one to tens of
thousands of managed nodes across
multiple complex environments
▪ Community, Certified Partner, and
Chef supported content available
for all common automation tasks
Infrastructure automation
and delivery at scale

A SIMPLE EXAMPLE OF AN INSPEC CIS RULE
InSpec
▪ Translate compliance into Code
▪ Clearly express statements of policy
▪ Move risk to build/test from runtime
▪ Find issues early
▪ Write code quickly
▪ Run code anywhere
▪ Inspect machines, data and APIs
Turn security and
compliance into code
control ‘cis-1.4.1’ do
title ‘1.4.1 Enable SELinux in /etc/grub.conf’
desc ‘
Do not disable SELinux and enforcing in your
GRUB configuration. These are important security features that
prevent attackers from escalating their access to your systems.
For reference see …

end

8. Habitat
▪ Ease the burden of managing microservice
apps and bring benefits of apps architected
for microservices to traditional applications
▪ Gain consistent management of new
and traditional applications across their lifecycle
▪ Provides application portability for new and traditional
apps
▪ Autonomous nodes self-manage runtime state
of application based upon policy you define
▪ APIs expose application behaviors
as data for better management
▪ Works in tandem with infrastructure automation
▪ Makes applications running on containers,
PaaS, virtual machines, bare metal, … better
Automation that travels with the app
