Empowering Strategic Charitable Investments with Automation Science
summary
Gates Foundation uses InSpec and Habitat to automate compliance and deployments, turning Excel controls into InSpec profiles run via the audit cookbook every ~30 minutes and surfacing results in Chef Automate. ElasticSearch growth forces a retention decision (they reduce retention). Habitat builds shrink containers from 2.2 GB to ~300 MB and cut build times from 20–25 min to 4–5 min, reducing runtime surface area and speeding deployments while increasing detectability of issues for remediation.
