Deployment Model
Calico Open Source
Calico Open Source is a networking and security solution for containers, virtual machines, and native host-based workloads that was born out of Project Calico.
Calico Open Source combines flexible networking capabilities with run-anywhere security enforcement to provide a solution with native Linux kernel performance and true cloud-native scalability.
Calico Cloud
Calico Cloud is the industry’s only active security platform with full-stack observability. It enables organizations to prevent attacks using zero trust, and to detect, troubleshoot, and automatically remediate exposure risks from security breaches across multi-cloud and hybrid deployments. Calico Cloud is built on Calico Open Source.
Calico Enterprise
Calico Enterprise is the industry’s only active security platform with full-stack observability for containers and Kubernetes. Calico Enterprise extends the declarative nature of Kubernetes to specify security and observability as code. This ensures consistent enforcement of security policies and compliance, and provides observability for troubleshooting across multi-cluster, multi-cloud and hybrid deployments.
