In December 2022, Microsoft and Isovalent announced the collaboration to bring the Isovalent Cilium Enterprise offering onto Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) via Azure Marketplace. Today, we are happy to announce that Isovalent Cilium Enterprise offering is now available on the Azure Marketplace.
Isovalent Cilium Enterprise on Azure is a powerful tool for securing and managing Kubernetes’ workloads on Azure. Isovalent Cilium Enterprise's range of advanced features and easy-to-deploy ability makes it an ideal solution for organizations of all sizes looking to secure their cloud-native applications.
Enterprises realize that to achieve accelerated business growth, they can leverage AKS. However, as applications scale, there is increased complexity with security and networking. Isovalent Cilium Enterprise, which is built on top of the open-source Cilium project, addresses these gaps by providing additional functionality such as advanced observability and security policy enforcement across multiple layers of the stack. It uses eBPF technology to deliver network and application-layer security, while also providing observability and tracing for Kubernetes workloads. Isovalent Cilium Enterprise also provides seamless integration with popular Kubernetes platforms and tools, including Istio, Helm, and more, thereby making it a trusted offering among organizations. Azure Marketplace is an online store for buying and selling cloud computing solutions that allows you to deploy Isovalent Cilium Enterprise to Azure with ease.
With such a tight and native integration of Isovalent Cilium Enterprise with Azure Marketplace, customers can deploy and upgrade Isovalent Cilium Enterprise features to a new or existing AKS cluster (running Azure CNI powered by Cilium) with a few clicks. Isovalent Cilium Enterprise is built with native integration with the Azure networking platform to offer advanced features and capabilities with best-in-class performance and scale. Furthermore, customers can seamlessly perform lifecycle management of the application by receiving version updates, auto-upgrades, and vulnerability scans thus allowing them to achieve their business goals effectively. They also benefit from the simplified billing from Azure Marketplace. Whether customers are just getting started with AKS or have a large-scale production deployment, Isovalent Cilium Enterprise on Azure Marketplace will help them achieve better visibility, security, and compliance. The myriad benefits of a trusted and secure platform such as Azure Marketplace will accrue savings by limiting management overhead and driving productivity for enterprises at scale.
Key capabilities for Azure Kubernetes Services customers
To recapture, Isovalent Cilium Enterprise provides a range of advanced features built on Kubernetes networking, security, and observability. Here are just a few of the key capabilities that Isovalent Cilium Enterprise exposes to AKS customers:

The saying, “the only thing constant is change,” is one I can’t seem to get out of my head these days, and also seems to resonate with customers I talk to given the dynamic market changes, macroeconomic headwinds, geopolitical tensions, and labor constraints we're all living in currently. That’s why for this episode of Inside Azure for IT, we’re bringing you three discussions about cloud strategies that can help you not only successfully navigate some of today's uncertainties, but also build agility and increase efficiency while you move ahead.
In part one, we discuss how migrating and modernizing your business with the cloud can help you achieve efficiencies and the scalability you need to meet changing business demands. The pandemic fundamentally shifted the technology landscape and accelerated the pace of digital transformation across all industries. If you’re working with existing IT platforms that limit the agility you need to be successful, moving strategic workloads to the cloud can help you deliver on customer demand and gain a competitive advantage.
In part two, we dive into how you can optimize your IT investments and realize the full power of the cloud quickly by configuring workloads for maximum efficiency and cost savings. As technology evolves, many orginizations will need to re-think how their technology strategy aligns with their business objectives. For example, if you're operating your business primarily on premises, you might decide that you can’t afford, or don’t want to invest in, running more of your own servers, hardware, or storage to keep up with continually evolving IT infrastructure. Taking advantage of the economies of scale that a cloud provider offers can help you reduce technical debt and optimize your operations for better efficiency.
Finally, in part three, we look at today’s ever-changing security landscape and why a strong security posture is critical to growing your business. Now more than ever, IT leaders need to adopt the right security strategy to protect against ransomware attacks, supply chain software compromises, and data breaches. Microsoft shares best practices and invests heavily in cybersecurity so you can run your business more securely and efficiently—because when your business is protected, teams can innovate fearlessly and focus on what they do best.
As I reflect on my own personal strategies managing through change, I find it always helps to focus on what you can control. That gives you a way to anchor your thinking and build certainty out of the uncertain. Each of these strategies offers a point of view on what you can control within your environment and a place to start.
Inside Azure for IT, Episode 5: Three cloud strategies to help you navigate market uncertainty
The episode is divided into three separate segments so you can watch them individually, on demand, and at your convenience.
Part one: Navigate market uncertainty by migrating and modernizing with Azure
Guest: Sathish Rajappa, Vice President of Global Platform Technology Sales at Blue Yonder
In the first segment, Sathish Rajappa from software provider Blue Yonder joins me to share some insights from their own modernization journey, and how their strategic partnership with Microsoft enhances their software as a service (SaaS) solutions to help customers accelerate digital transformation. We also talk about how you can optimize spending by consolidating systems to a few solution providers, and how adopting AI and machine learning at scale can help you solve specific use cases and gain a competitive advantage.

Part two: Optimize IT investments to maximize efficiency and reduce cloud spend
Guest: Henry O’Connell, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Canary Speech
In the second segment, I talk with Henry O’Connell at Canary Speech about how they use Microsoft Azure to power their vocal biomarker screening technology to help healthcare professionals use conversational speech to screen for mood changes and diseases. With this technology, clinicians can recognize conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, and more in a matter of seconds. Henry shares a few reasons why Canary Speech chose to move from another cloud provider to Azure to grow their business, how they used resources like the Azure Well-Architected Framework to configure workloads for maximum efficiency and cost savings, as well as some exciting innovations Canary Speech is pursuing with Azure.

Guest: Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Security, Compliance, Identity and Privacy
In the third segment, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Vasu Jakkal to talk about how Microsoft is navigating the ever-changing global challenges of today’s security landscape. Vasu explains how Microsoft’s investments in cybersecurity are helping customers run their businesses more securely and efficiently while minimizing disruptions, and we end with an inspiring discussion about how strengthening your security posture can help you innovate fearlessly in challenging times.
