Progress introduces the latest in job orchestration with Chef Courier – Intelligent CIO North America

Progress has launched Progress Chef Courier – an innovative product designed to streamline, automate and optimize job orchestration across the entire enterprise software infrastructure.

Delivered on the new cloud-native platform, Progress Chef 360, Chef Courier adds to the extensive Progress Infrastructure Management portfolio.

“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, Progress.

“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.”

John Yang, Vice President for Asia Pacific and Japan, Progress, said: “With its robust orchestration, Chef Courier is all set to fulfill the demand for workflow management in complex environments. To ensure business continues at pace, the new offering is designed to improve operational efficiency in a timely and secure manner.”

Chef Courier brings advancements in efficiency, speed and trust, extending the overall value of DevSecOps. It is pitched as bridging the gap between App Dev and Security, while retaining the flexibility needed for complex, heterogeneous software infrastructure environments.

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 minimizes the need to manage tasks such as regular upgrades and incident response and resolution in the Chef environment.

According to Gartner, the Infrastructure Automation and Orchestration market is evolving as more is demanded of infrastructure delivery teams to support rapidly changing business and technology landscapes.

Gartner believes with the adoption of Infrastructure Platform Engineering to provide the delivery of quality, flexible and optimized infrastructure, the IA&O market will become more important.
