You can solve these 3 problems today…with Calico Cloud

  • Workload access controls

    Implement pod-level workload access controls and protect containerized environments in the Kubernetes cluster from outside threats, while enabling applications and workloads to securely communicate with resources outside the cluster behind a firewall or other control point.

  • Compliance

    Create compliance policies for any compliance framework including PCI, SOC 2, and more. Continuously monitor compliance for your container, Kubernetes, and cloud environment. Retain a daily history of your compliance status. Generate on-demand or scheduled audit reports.

  • Faster troubleshooting

    Enable faster troubleshooting of Kubernetes workloads and applications with Service Graph, packet capture, anomaly detection, and performance hotspots, leading to shorter time-to-resolution, less application downtime, and improved quality of service.

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF

kind: Installer
metadata:
  name: default
  namespace: calico-cloud
spec:
  ownerEmail: '$EMAIL'
EOF

  4. Accept your invite to join Calico.

    Open the email, fill in the brief onboarding dialog, and in about 5 minutes, your cluster will open in the Calico Cloud user interface. That’s it. You’re ready to go!

    Tip: To monitor the install, run this command:

     kubectl get installers.operator.calicocloud.io -n calico-cloud default -o jsonpath='{.status.state}'
