“We are excited to welcome Aporeto to the new AWS Marketplace for Containers to help the over 200,000 AWS customers find, buy and deploy solutions specific to their container environment,” said Garth Fort, director, AWS Marketplace, Amazon Web Services Inc. “We are happy to see that Aporeto has extended its Zero Trust security solution to container products.”

Aporeto powered by AWS helps enterprises efficiently deploy, manage and secure applications at scale on various platforms including Kubernetes, Docker, Linux, Mesos, among others. To uniquely fingerprint each workload, Aporeto is designed to combine metadata from the orchestration layer, the container, the operating system and the AWS instance identity document. By combining these information sources, along with dynamic attributes such as image scanner inputs, Aporeto is designed to create a strong cryptographic identity for each workload to authenticate and authorize all network communications within a virtual private cloud (VPC), across VPCs independent of their region or availability zone and across cloud environments. 

“As microservices, containers and cloud adoption continue to accelerate, we see more customers considering how they will port their legacy network security paradigm to the cloud,” said Jason Schmitt, CEO of Aporeto. “Our customers are attracted to AWS for its proven elasticity and scale and are looking for a new approach to securing applications that does not detract from the easy deployment and manageability that they demand in the cloud. Aporeto enables customers to migrate more aggressively to cloud, build cloud-native applications and improve application velocity, all without compromising security.”
