Progress announced it is extending the coverage of Progress' policy-based Chef(R) 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(R) Chef(R) InSpec(R) and recently released Progress(R) Chef(R) Cloud Security, enabling them to accelerate their cloud migration with continuous compliance and misconfigurations detection. Organizations worldwide are embracing the cloud to modernize their legacy applications, create more resilient business infrastructures and support remote work.

Cloud adoption was well underway before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the urgent changes to business operations and procedures have caused these plans to accelerate at an even greater pace. Nearly 70% of companies have advanced their cloud migration over the past 12 months.(1) While cloud migration is predisposed to embrace an agile development methodology enabled with DevOps, many organizations still leave themselves open to risk when migrating to the cloud by neglecting to embed security into their development operating model, architectural design and processes. 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.
