Meeting the Cloud Challenge
As technology evolves at a rapid pace and organizations look to the cloud, leading organizations turn to Chef to help manage DevOps, which is complicated by new technologies, diverse deployment landscapes and never-ending business application requirements. With Chef Cloud Security, organizations can extend their same proven, trusted DevOps approach to easily manage any combination of public, private and hybrid cloud workloads. The new offering provides the following benefits:
Achieving Compliance Success
Complementing the new Chef Cloud Security offering, Progress continues to invest in Progress® Chef® InSpec®, the core underlying security and compliance mechanism:
"Chef has proven to be an incredibly helpful tool within each organization I have been involved. It has reduced system configuration time from weeks and days down to minutes," said Brittany Woods, Server Automation Manager, H&R Block. "On top of that, taking advantage of Chef's policy-based approach makes it easier to empower teams to truly own their infrastructure and release measured changes. With the addition of the new Cloud Security offering, Chef is further extending its value proposition to customers."
Extending 'Infrastructure as Code' to 'Policy as Code'
As a long-time proponent of the collaboration-based 'infrastructure as code', Chef has applied the same principles to introduce a 'policy as code' for security and compliance. Chef now helps organizations achieve their goal of using a single 'as code' framework for their infrastructure, application, desktop, security and compliance concerns across their entire on premise, cloud and edge device inventory. The complete set of Chef capabilities are available as part of the Progress® Chef® Enterprise Automation Stack™ (EAS), designed for scale to meet the demand of the largest global enterprises, which now includes these new features:
"Over the past several years, Chef-now under the leadership of Progress-has placed significant focus on building out security and compliance capabilities to make the DevSecOps concept achievable for our customers," said Sundar Subramanian, EVP & GM DevSecOps, Progress. "Through a policy-as-code approach, we are extremely excited to see what our customers will accomplish as they aspire to end-to-end DevOps."
