•     Webinar: Extending Chef to Manage the Entire Application Lifecycle

Chef is an excellent tool for setting up an enterprise environment and automating complex IT processes. It promotes the concept of DevOps and managing your infrastructure as code. However, Chef doesn't go beyond the setup phase.
