Chef is an American corporation headquartered in Seattle, Washington, which produces software allowing information technology departments to automate the process in which they configure, deploy and scale servers and applications.〔 The Chef software is used to streamline the task of configuring & maintaining a company's servers, and can integrate with cloud-based platforms such as Rackspace and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud to automatically provision and configure new machines. About 70% of Chef’s clients come from Fortune 1000 companies, including major organizations like Facebook, Nordstrom, Disney, and General Electric.〔 The company was founded as Opscode in 2008 by current Chief Technology Officer Adam Jacob, Jesse Robbins, Barry Steinglass, and Nathan Haneysmith.〔 Chef is based in Seattle, with regional offices in Atlanta, North Carolina, London, and Silicon Valley. Chef is a venture funded company, raising a total of $32 million by the end of 2013.〔 In November 2015, the company acquired German security startup, VulcanoSec. ==Products== One version of Chef’s product, ''Enterprise Chef'', is branded as a solution to managing and automating large-scale infrastructure that includes features such as multitenancy, role-based access control, reporting and support from Chef’s customer service team. This product centers around the notion of modeling “IT infrastructure and application delivery as code.” Users write "recipes" that describe how Chef manages and configures server applications. An additional product, entitled ''Open Source Chef'', is an open-source free version of the Chef server, which provides the basis for both versions of the software.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chef (company)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
