CloudPassage Moves Halo Cloud’s Fully-Containerized Microservices Architecture to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service

Third Major Evolution of Platform Architecture Increases Scalability, Performance, and Cost-Efficiency for Customers Using the Halo Cloud Security and Compliance Platform

CloudPassage, a recognized leader in cloud computing security and compliance, announced that it has migrated the fully-containerized microservices architecture of its Halo cloud security and compliance platform to the fully-managed Kubernetes service, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). This allows Halo to take advantage of the enhanced services from Amazon Web Services (AWS) for networking, user identity, and automatically scaling up and down on-demand. By taking advantage of these AWS services, CloudPassage internal resources can focus on the innovations, new features, and flexible security policies that benefit customers of the Halo cloud security and compliance platform the most.
