Windows Infrastructure as Code (IaC) support

Question

I am using on-prem infrastructure with VM:s, on Windows 2012R2. I've tried to find tools to incorporate IaC, but I haven't found any tool for this. Chef, Ansible, etc. are only for Linux if I'm not mistaken. I think for Azure there's something, but that I can't use here.

Answer 1

IMHO, you have missed something to conclude that chef is not meant for windows. Chef have extensive support for windows and azure.

You can start looking at chef documentations:-

• https://www.chef.io/implementations/windows/

• https://docs.chef.io/windows.html
