We have raised issues with the Chef team about the upcoming changes, in November 2022 (github.com/chef/chef/issues/13368) and May 2023 (github.com/chef/chef/issues/13751).
Sorry for the (maybe dumb question) : - are repositories for programs like Google Chrome the official ones? (like in Linux?) I'm asking because if the answer is yes, this solves a part of my anxiety in relation to security. "There are 9555 Community Maintained Packages". Does this mean that they come from the community, and are not provided directly by Google, Adobe, etc?
When packages are moderated the are checked that they come from official sources. For example, you wouldn't be able to push a package for 'Google Chrome' and use your Dropbox for the installer. But you should always check to ensure you are happy with the package and code from a security anxiety standpoint. Some software vendors / authors create and maintain their own packages. In the case of the two you mentioned, Google or Adobe do not provide their own packages. They are provided and maintained by the community.
there are 2 kids of IT guys Those that everything should be done via commands and those who prefer to actually see what they are doing in a UI I am the latter
There are two options. 1. The Quick Start Guide that creates the environment for you on your own virtual machine. 2. QDE in Azure where you create the environment in Azure.
That video didn't provide any useful information about what Chocolatey does for you. I came here to learn about Chocolatey and I am not wiser than before I watched the video.
