How SAp Leverages Chef Automation
summary
Automated infrastructure at SAP uses Chef plus Terraform and Rundeck to run a self-service catalog that deploys 55 system templates and over 300 cookbooks, recreates almost 3,500 systems weekly, and claims ~3,500 man-day savings in 2017. Continuous configuration enforcement runs hourly on about 6,000 servers with 30–35 policies, recovery automation cuts restore times by 60–80%, CI/CD uses GitHub Enterprise Jenkins Test Kitchen Berks and InSpec, and compliance scanning still struggles with ~20,000 non‑Chef nodes.
