Manage Change, Enforce Security, and Incorporate Cloud in your Windows Ecosystem

Position your Windows workloads for the future

Have you automated your Windows workloads? How are you enforcing security and compliance?

For many organizations, barriers to cloud computing and infrastructure automation originate around security, compliance and Windows application management.

This paper, a collaboration between Windows IT Pro and Puppet, examines trends and implications to deliver a Windows-enabled ecosystem — and innovate at the speed of software.

We cover:

• How to move away from manual management of cloud and infrastructure, and automate Windows servers.
• Why infrastructure as code enables powerful security designs and architectures.
• Best practices to manage, provision and secure Azure VMs and apps.
