Chef Infrastructure Automation Services
Tell us about your project.
Maintaining consistency across modern infrastructure often demands more than basic scripting or manual provisioning.
Why Work With Orases?
Chef allows teams to define infrastructure as code, manage complex deployments, and support compliance across cloud, on-prem, or hybrid environments. Orases works closely with organizations to implement Chef in ways that simplify operations, reduce risk, and improve speed without sacrificing control.
Why Chef?
Chef is built to manage infrastructure at scale through reusable recipes and cookbooks, allowing system administrators and DevOps teams to describe system configuration with readable code.
Its declarative approach means infrastructure behaves predictably, even in highly dynamic environments. Support for heterogeneous systems, including Linux, Windows, and cloud-native services, makes it especially effective for organizations running mixed stacks.
With tools like Chef Habitat for application automation, InSpec for security and compliance checks, and Chef Automate for workflow orchestration, the ecosystem around Chef brings flexibility and maturity to infrastructure-as-code strategies.
Our Chef Automation Offerings
Projects that use Chef often span multiple systems and need support for deployment workflows, testing, and compliance. Our services are structured to meet those requirements efficiently.
Chef Cookbook Development & Custom Recipes
We develop cookbooks with reusable logic that supports clean, modular infrastructure management. Recipes are written to reflect actual deployment needs, reducing duplication while promoting clarity across systems.
Test Kitchen & InSpec Testing Frameworks
Automated testing is integrated into the development process through frameworks like Test Kitchen and InSpec. These tools validate system behavior and compliance before deployment, reducing the likelihood of unexpected outcomes in production.
Continuous Delivery With Chef Automate
Chef Automate provides visibility into change history, system status, and policy enforcement. We help configure pipelines and integrate version-controlled workflows that support rapid, reliable delivery without compromising governance.
Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure Automation
Many teams operate across cloud platforms, on-prem data centers, or both. We write platform-agnostic cookbooks and design workflows that adapt to different provisioning layers while maintaining consistent logic and performance standards.
Orases’ Chef Development Process
Successful automation begins with a process that aligns technical strategy with system realities. Our development approach balances structure, collaboration, and adaptability.

Environment Scoping & Platform Audit
A thorough review of current systems, team workflows, and technical debt sets the stage for building meaningful automation. This audit shapes decisions around role definitions, platform-specific logic, and cookbook structure.
Recipe Design & Role-Based Deployment Logic
Recipes are designed to reflect organizational structures and deployment targets. Roles, attributes, and environments are clearly defined to avoid cross-environment interference and simplify updates across teams.
CI/CD & Change Management Integration
Cookbooks are managed in Git and connected to CI/CD tools like Jenkins or GitLab. This integration supports peer review, testing, and controlled deployment into production systems.
Automated Compliance Auditing
InSpec policies are written to validate configuration and security baselines. These tests are run automatically as part of the delivery process, helping maintain confidence in system compliance across infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions that’s been on everyone’s mind.
Why Choose Chef Over Ansible Or Puppet?
Chef offers deep configuration logic with reusable code structures and strong support for testing and compliance. While Ansible and Puppet also provide configuration tools, Chef is often preferred for complex deployments that require fine-grained control and policy enforcement.
How Do You Test & Maintain Chef Cookbooks?
Cookbooks are validated through Test Kitchen and InSpec before production rollout. Maintenance includes version control, regression testing, and dependency management to support long-term reliability.
Can Chef Be Used Alongside Kubernetes & Containers?
Yes, Chef Habitat supports containerized workflows, and recipes can be used to manage supporting infrastructure for Kubernetes clusters or container platforms.
