That's what package managers are.

choco install sed -yYou actually install chocolatey and its packages on a production server?
Do you have more concern using an easy to use repo rather than direct from the source?
No.

No.
So why would you not use chocolatey if you need easy access to the packages that are offered there?

You actually don't? I'd never not have it on production, it's how you handle updates.
Choco is semi-official and the underlying system is totally official. I can't imagine being okay with Windows and not demanding Chocolatey.

We absolutely require Chocolatey on production servers. We might skip it on lab machines, but never in production. Having the ability to standardize installs, guarantee we get checksums, having validated sources, keeping packages up to date... it's the best.

For your standardize installs, what packages do you normally install?

That's what I did at my last employer. Choco was on every Windows server.

Yup, Chocolatey was easy to manage with SaltStack, which was also on everything.

Just got a sales call from 860-835-2729 who called me, put me on hold immediately when I answered, then suddenly yelled something in Spanish, then put me on mute for a while.
