What both publish
| Fact | Calico Cloud | KubeArmor |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | Calico Cloud supports Prometheus and Grafana metrics, either through its Tigera-managed Prometheus operator or a customer-provided Prometheus deployment. | Project repositories include OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Kafka, Grafana, ELK dashboards, a GitHub Action, and a Rancher UI extension. |
| Purpose | Calico Cloud provides network security, observability, and traffic controls for Kubernetes environments in cloud, on-premises, or at the edge. | KubeArmor is an open-source, cloud-native runtime security system that hardens workloads and enforces security policies. |
| Support limits | Tigera says the distributions it lists are those it currently tests and supports; other distributions may connect with Calico Open Source installed, with Support available for guidance. | The support matrix marks some environments as observability-only, including RHEL or CentOS 8.4 and earlier on Kubernetes and Oracle Ampere; VMware Tanzu entries are marked as under construction. |
