Provider of AI-powered infrastructure software Progress (Nasdaq: PRGS) today announced the launch of Progress® Chef® Courier™—an innovative product designed to streamline, automate and optimise job orchestration across the entire enterprise software infrastructure, as well as extend the value of DevSecOps. 

Delivered on the new cloud-native platform, Progress® Chef 360™, Chef Courier delivers efficiency, speed and trust in even the most complex IT environments by helping to seamlessly unite people, tools and workflows by streamlining critical IT processes. It adds to the extensive Progress Infrastructure Management portfolio, making the management of complex workflows easier than ever. 

Chef Courier also extends the overall value of DevSecOp by bridging the gap between app dev and security, while retaining the flexibility needed for complex, heterogeneous software infrastructure environments. 

“Speeding the delivery of critical applications while meeting security and compliance requirements is a must for every business. With today’s release, we are extending our customers’ ability to do this and much more,”

said Sundar Subramanian, EVP & General Manager of Infrastructure Management at Progress. 

The consolidation of tools also helps reduce skillset requirements and ongoing costs of hiring and retaining talent resources. 

“Chef Courier helps to seamlessly unite people, tools and workflows by streamlining critical IT processes. Along with Chef 360, Chef Courier is the next step of our increased investment in the current Chef portfolio, adding to our already robust capabilities in infrastructure, security, compliance, application delivery and edge management”

adds Subramanian. 

The vendor-agnostic approach of Chef Courier extends investment across different technologies and removes the iterative and error-prone manual approach to managing change. Continued support for the open-source community and transparent licensing terms provide an alternative to ongoing changes introduced by competitive offerings. In addition, the availability of SaaS and marketplace options minimises the need to manage tasks such as regular upgrades and incident response and resolution in the Chef environment.
