Microsoft Azure

Azure embeds Project Calico to offer their customers network security for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Tigera and Microsoft have also co-developed Windows support for Project Calico. Calico Enterprise provides deep network security for AKS and Kubernetes running on Azure VMs.

Calico on Azure AKS and Kubernetes on Azure Compute

Calico is an open-source solution for secure connectivity within Kubernetes. Calico provides a container networking solution to establish connectivity as well as a network policy engine for managing and securing network traffic.

The Calico Policy Engine is one of the recommended policy engines that is included with Microsoft Azure AKS.  Enabling Calico Policy on an Azure AKS cluster is easy to do by following the steps in the Azure AKS Documentation.

For customers who require cross-platform Linux/Windows support for Kubernetes deployments, Calico for Windows makes it possible to modernize your Windows applications using Windows containers.

The Tigera team invented and are the primary maintainers of Project Calico. Tigera provides several commercial support options if desired.
