Description

Hosts Chef infrastructure data as a central server for clients, cookbooks, policies, and distribution at scale. It is useful for organizations managing many machines through Chef automation.

Chef Server stores operational policy and trust relationships for managed systems. Protect admin credentials, backups, TLS, network access, and cookbook review because mistakes can affect entire fleets.
