Unify networking, network security, and observability with one Calico platform. Eliminate tool sprawl, reduce integration effort, and close visibility gaps, so teams spend less time managing tools and more time delivering value.
Calico powers 100M+ containers across 8M+ nodes in 166 countries, and is supported across all major cloud providers and Kubernetes distributions.
Unify networking, network security, and observability with one Calico platform. Eliminate tool sprawl, reduce integration effort, and close visibility gaps, so teams spend less time managing tools and more time delivering value.
Ensure workload portability across EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift, Rancher, and more. Calico’s extensive Kubernetes distribution and dataplane support let you move freely, maintain compliance, and avoid costly Kubernetes platform vendor lock-in.
Expand across clusters with built-in multi-cluster networking, security, and observability without the need for a separate and expensive service mesh solution. Calico delivers seamless multi-cluster connectivity, centralized policy control, and consistent visibility across Kubernetes, VMs, and bare metal, so you can scale confidently across all environments without adding overhead or risk.
Gain unified observability and control at scale. Calico delivers real-time visibility, consistent policy enforcement, and automated threat detection across all clusters. By streamlining troubleshooting and reducing manual effort, it helps teams maintain uptime, meet compliance goals, and prevent service interruptions before they occur.
We are committed to developing, cultivating, and supporting open-source projects and communities.
We are the creator and maintainer of Project Calico, an open-source project with an active development and user community. Calico Open Source was born out of this project and has grown to be the most widely adopted solution for container networking and security, powering 8M+ nodes daily across 166 countries.
We actively use and promote popular open-source projects like eBPF, Envoy, Istio, and WireGuard. Calico provides a pluggable data-plane architecture enabling support for multiple data planes, including standard Linux, eBPF, and Windows. Calico also integrates with Envoy to provide observability functionality, works seamlessly with Istio to simplify and secure service mesh deployments, and uses WireGuard to encrypt all in-cluster communications.
The global Calico community is large and growing. We deliver more than 100 free technical training sessions annually to thousands of community members. We also offer free, self-paced Calico certification programs.
