Chef is combining three of its flagship products into a single offering. But the company insists Chef Automate is not simply a repackaging of what was once three distinct products: the Chef automation solution for devops, the InSpec policy compliance system, and the Habitat application-automation system.
The idea, said Ken Cheney, vice president of business development for Chef, is that "this is not just a repackaging. ...This brings brings all three products together at the workflow and visibility layer."
