Case Study: Chef.io triples release cadence for on-prem and air-gapped customers with Replicated

Chef.io triples release cadence and onboards customers in minutes with Replicated

Chef.io, a DevSecOps company, faced the challenge of delivering its new container-native platform, Chef 360, to its on-prem and air-gapped customers in regulated industries. These customers were accustomed to VM-based deployments and lacked Kubernetes expertise, creating a significant adoption risk. Chef.io needed a solution to simplify this complex delivery process without building costly in-house infrastructure.

By partnering with Replicated, Chef.io gained a standardized delivery foundation that handled packaging, distribution, licensing, and support for on-prem and air-gapped environments. The solution included a self-service portal for customers to easily deploy and manage the software. Replicated enabled Chef.io to triple its release cadence, onboard new customers in minutes instead of days, and unblock customer deployments in 15 minutes instead of a week, saving an estimated ten engineers worth of time.
