Today we launched a new series of Chef testimonial videos offering varied and unique perspectives on the journey to becoming a coded business. The first of these #ChefTalks videos features Rob Cummings, infrastructure engineer at Nordstrom, discussing how to level-up change in your organization.
You can click this link, or the screen shot below, to spend two minutes watching Rob discuss how Nordstrom used Opscode Private Chef to turn a heterogeneous architecture that mixed legacy and new technology into a streamlined DevOps machine. Rob covers recommendations for changing both tooling and culture in traditional organizations, as well as the benefits Nordstrom is beginning to see as part of its ongoing IT transformation.
As Rob comments, “We have hardcore Unix engineers now happily automating Windows infrastructure because they can do it through code.”
Pretty awesome.
