Chef is an amazing tool but to really unlock its potential you need to look at how it integrates with the rest of your technology. This presentation is the story of how the NFL used Chef to transform its siloed infrastructure and practices into something more agile, automated, and reliable.

This presentation will talk about the last 2 years of Chef at the NFL including how we integrated it into our virtualization infrastructure, load balancers, storage, and application performance monitoring. We'll talk about some things that Chef taught us about infrastructure-as-code that we were able to apply to other areas, and things we learned to make our cookbooks easier to manage across groups.

VMware and Chef tools

Chef and VMware are a natural pairing and there are several tools available to enhance the integration.

Knife is a command-line tool that provides an interface between a local chef-repo and the Chef server and allows you to manipulate objects on the Chef server. Knife plugin allows your computer to talk to a 3rd party systems like vSphere or vRA. A plugin can create a VM in vSphere and then bootstrap it with Chef, for example, or it can expose your vRa catalog to your workstation so you don't need to use a GUI.

The following are the main interfaces with VMware and Chef our "knife" plugins.

• knife-vsphere
• knife-vrealize
