Solution Overview
Today, organizations struggle with the multi-vendor integrations required to achieve full end-to-end application automation solutions. Different teams within the organization find partial solutions in tools and processes, but without full integration the solution falls short. There isn’t an across-the-board solution that brings Application Development, Operations, and Security teams onto the same page, until now.
The Venafi-Chef Infra Cookbook, created by Indellient, contains custom resources that give Venafi customers seamless integration with Chef Infra managed environments.
Users can take existing Chef Cookbooks they have for their applications and import the ‘Venafi-Helper’ cookbook and associated resources to allow them to interact with the Venafi Platform. These resources allow users to generate and renew certificates for any application of their choosing. The open source repository also provides sample application packages (Apache, Tomcat and NGINX) that provide functional examples of this pattern.
