Slingshot Transitions to Azure Resource Manager (ARM) for Enhanced Performance and Security

At Slingshot, we are committed to continuous innovation and ensuring seamless business continuity for our clients. As part of this commitment, we have successfully migrated all Microsoft Azure resources supporting Slingshot Cloud customers from the Classic deployment model to the modern Azure Resource Manager (ARM) model.

This transition streamlines resource management, improving the reliability and efficiency of the Slingshot SaaS infrastructure. With ARM, we can deploy multiple interconnected resources simultaneously while maintaining referential integrity—improving both deployment speed and system stability.

From a security perspective, ARM-based resources offer a significant advantage by leveraging Azure’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for more granular access management. Additionally, performance monitoring has been expanded, allowing us to track and optimize key parameters with greater precision.

Most importantly, this migration ensures the long-term stability of the Slingshot Cloud platform. As ARM is now the standard for Azure resource management, our clients can trust that their applications are running on a future-proof infrastructure.

The migration was conducted following thorough research and testing. The Slingshot systems’ end users experienced no disruptions during the transition. This achievement underscores our dedication to providing secure, reliable, and high-performance cloud experience for our customers.
