Easy Node Enrollment

Node Cohort
A Node Cohort is a logical group of nodes sharing the same Skill Assembly and Override Settings. Chef 360 makes all enrolled nodes receive consistent skills and configurations.
Node Filtering
Tag nodes (e.g., staging, dev, prod) to filter and save groups for job creation while new nodes with matching tags are auto-added.
Skill Definitions
Register Skill Definitions to deploy agents that perform tasks on managed nodes; define their name, packaging, service behavior, and configuration templates for consistent execution.
Skill Assembly
Create a Skill Assembly to bundle multiple skill definitions; install or remove them on nodes in one go, like applying a ready-to-use toolbox across your infrastructure.
