F5 Distributed Cloud App Infrastructure Protection (AIP) vs. Calico

Distributed Cloud AIP, formerly known as Threat Stack, is the leader in cloud security and compliance for application infrastructures, helping companies securely leverage the business benefits of the cloud with proactive risk identification and high-efficacy threat detection across cloud workloads. Distributed Cloud AIP’s application infrastructure protection helps organizations improve operational efficiency by delivering full stack security observability across the cloud management console, host, container, orchestration, managed containers, and serverless layers.

The Calico platform, built on the most trusted open-source technologies in Kubernetes — Calico Open Source, Istio, Envoy, and eBPF — provides a single management plane for secure networking and observability for AI workloads. It can be deployed as Calico Cloud, a fully-managed SaaS platform, or Calico Enterprise, a self-managed platform. Calico works with popular managed Kubernetes services such as AKS, EKS, and GKE, as well as self-managed Kubernetes distributions including Red Hat OpenShift, SUSE/Rancher, VMware Tanzu, and Mirantis.
