Solo.io is excited to announce our official partnership with Microsoft, marking a significant milestone in our journey to make cloud-native, omni directional API and service connectivity more accessible and scalable for enterprises. As an IP Co-sell Ready partner, Solo.io is now available in the Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) program, enabling customers to leverage their committed Azure spend to procure Solo.io products seamlessly.
A Natural Evolution in Partnership
Solo.io and Microsoft share a common vision of empowering organizations to build and operate modern, cloud-native applications with efficiency, security, and scalability. Our collaboration is a natural progression, building on our past work together within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and our mutual contributions to Istio and the open-source ecosystem at large. By formalizing our partnership, we are streamlining procurement and accelerating adoption for enterprises leveraging Azure for their cloud strategy.
What This Means for Customers
1. Access Through Azure Marketplace: Solo.io’s solutions, including Gloo Gateway and Gloo Mesh, are available via the Azure Marketplace, offering a simplified procurement process.
2. MACC Eligibility: Customers who have an existing Azure consumption commitment can now apply those funds toward purchasing Solo.io’s enterprise solutions, optimizing their cloud investments.
3. Joint Go-to-Market with Microsoft: Our IP Co-sell Ready status means deeper alignment with Microsoft’s sales teams, making it easier for customers to adopt Solo.io solutions within their Azure environments.
4. Enterprise-Grade Support and Integration: Solo.io’s API gateway and service mesh solutions integrate seamlessly with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure API Management, and other key Microsoft cloud services, ensuring a best-in-class developer and operational experience.
Looking Ahead
This partnership is just the beginning. As we continue to innovate in service connectivity, security, and API management, we look forward to further collaboration with Microsoft in areas such as hybrid cloud networking, AI-powered traffic management, and developer tooling for Kubernetes environments.
