Chef 360 Platform 1.3.0

Release date: April 29, 2025.

New features

• You can now deploy Chef 360 Platform in airgapped environments using a self-contained installation package. Note that the size of the self-contained package is significantly larger than the standard package.

Improvements

• When you first deploy Chef 360 Platform, it now creates a default node cohort with the default skill assembly and corresponding settings during the initial deployment. You can also use these default settings when creating a new organization. This improves the user experience when deploying Chef 360 Platform or creating a new organization.
• We’ve added a button to the Chef 360 Platform Node Management UI that allows you to select nodes from a failed job and run a new job against those nodes.

Bug fixes

• Resolved installation issues on Amazon Linux 2.
• Enhanced error messages in the Chef 360 Platform GUI for better clarity.
