    Brief

    This is an annual renewal opportunity for Chef software licenses. The organization is streamlining its licensing portfolio by reducing the total number of licenses from current levels to 1,200 units. This reduction follows a comprehensive license review process. Additionally, the organization is undertaking ongoing work to migrate from Chef to Ansible, with plans to eventually transition away from Chef entirely. Suppliers should note that license volumes may decrease further as this migration progresses.
