Chef is a pioneer in DevOps, the cultural and professional movement underpinning the digital transformation of every enterprise today. Chef is recognised as the standard automation platform for the DevOps workflow, with companies including Facebook, GE, Target, Bloomberg, Nordstrom, Gap, IBM, Yahoo, and Intuit, among more than 750 customers using Chef to accelerate software delivery and reduce operational risk. AWS, HP, and Microsoft, which today made Chef available on its Azure Marketplace (see separate release), have all joined Chef’s go-to-market efforts, solidifying Chef as the premier automation platform for DevOps.
“This is an inflection point for Chef as a company. Our innovation is becoming the primary bridge between traditional IT and New IT in the enterprise,” said Barry Crist, CEO, Chef. “Today we enter a new era as the automation control plane for digital-first organisations everywhere, and this new capital will help us take DevOps mainstream.”
“We are long term advocates of Chef since DFJ first funded the company’s Series A round in 2009,” said Sam Fort, Principal, DFJ Growth. “Chef is at the center of a fundamental shift in IT as enterprises race to change how they build and deploy software to become high velocity organisations. Chef has become the leading platform for enabling this transition, and we are thrilled to lead this investment to help accelerate Chef’s growth in the market.”
This latest funding round comes after the recent introduction of Chef Delivery, an extension of the Chef platform that enables full-stack continuous delivery of infrastructure, runtime environments – including containers – and applications. With Chef Delivery, the company has captured DevOps success patterns of its most innovative customers and distilled them into a product that brings advanced software development practices to all developers and system administrators who manage changes in enterprise IT environments.
