Progress collaborates with Microsoft to accelerate cloud migration in India

Provider of infrastructure software, Progress is extending the coverage of Progress’ policy-based Chef DevSecOps portfolio to India. Through this expansion, Microsoft Azure customers and partners in the region will have increased access to all Progress Chef products including Progress Chef InSpec and recently released Progress Chef Cloud Security, enabling them to accelerate their cloud migration with continuous compliance and misconfigurations detection.

Chef—now under the leadership of Progress—has a rich history of collaboration with Microsoft to deliver automation tools that help organizations with cloud adoption. Working together, they have provided enterprises with the tools, skills, and guidance to make IT innovation more rapid and frequent within Azure. A broad set of customers currently use Chef and Azure together to speed software development and easily manage infrastructure.

“The need for rapid, secure application development has resulted in a massive need for tools that can make the actual development and deployment of software easier and more seamless,” said Sundar Subramanian, EVP & GM DevOps, Progress. “When DevSecOps teams combine Chef and Microsoft Azure, they bring together two powerful tools to deliver a ‘cloud-first’ infrastructure quickly and securely.”

Progress has placed significant focus on building its security and compliance capabilities to make DevSecOps achievable for customers. The Chef DevSecOps portfolio bridges silos in global enterprises, enabling application, operations, and security teams to work closely together to define everything—including compliance policies, infrastructure, and application delivery requirements—as code. Providing a common DevSecOps language that can be shared, scaled, and secured to improve the software development lifecycle helps teams accelerate their digital transformations and truly embrace the power of the cloud.

“The pandemic has accelerated the pace of digital transformation for organizations across industries. Cloud migration and modernization with enterprise-grade security is emerging as a key digital imperative among Indian enterprises. We are delighted to collaborate with Progress Chef as they offer their best-in-class tools for developers in India, powered by Microsoft Azure,” said Aditee Rele, Director – ISV Partnerships, Microsoft India.
