“Calico Cloud works with managed Kubernetes services such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), as well as Kubernetes distributions running in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) to help secure, observe and troubleshoot their cloud-native applications.”
AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that makes it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Calico Cloud gives DevOps, DevSecOps, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams a single pane of glass across multi-cluster and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments to deploy a standard set of egress access controls, enforce security policies for compliance, and observe and troubleshoot applications. With availability in AWS Marketplace, customers can consume Kubernetes security and observability as services with the ability to connect other Kubernetes clusters running on AWS.
