TuxCare now offers three new DevSecOps integrations with its ePortal centralized management system. The integrations with Ansible, Chef, and Puppet are available through an API interface and provide patching and centralized license management. Patching and license management are seen as key DevSecOps workflow tools and critical components in securing Linux infrastructure that powers infrastructure for large corporations. TuxCare’s ePortal is used in large infrastructure deployments where servers are not directly exposed to the public internet but still require strong security. The servers contact ePortal for any new patches to deploy. ePortal also provides centralized license management, with a clear and transparent view into license usage at all times.
- If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this third question: Explain why the achievements you have highlighted are unique or significant.

Doing security manually is a step backwards. Providing these integrations has been highly requested -- and TuxCare will continue to expand the list of services that it integrates with to help TuxCare customers secure their infrastructure effeciently and effectively. API access to ePortal provides services like agent uninstallation and powerful query functions. This can be used, for example, to list and filter systems for reporting on third party applications. Ready-to-use Playbooks for Ansible, Recipes for Chef and Plans for Puppet can be dropped into existing workflow scripts. The provided playbooks/recipes/plans can serve as a starting point for expanded integration since they are standard APIs using JSON data. All TuxCare solutions include integrations with configuration management tools, vulnerability scanners, ePortal secure patch server, and 24/7 support.
