ChefConf 2018 Session: VMware & Chef - What is the Ecosystem Like and Where Does Everything Fit?

JJ Asghar - Partner Architect, Chef VMware and Chef have multiple places to integrate. From ESXi to vRA, Chef can drive or be driven via VMware. In this talk I will go over the majority of the integrations and the places that as a VMware user, you should be able to identify how Chef can play in your environment. I’ll demo some of the original integrations, show off the new test-kitchen integration with vCenter and 6.5 compare it to the legacy way. I will also show off the possible ways to integrate Chef with vRealize Automation both internally in the typical vRA workflow, to driving vRA as a cloud. Finally throughout the presentation I’ll highlight best practices and concepts to make Chef and VMware as delightful as possible.
