Kong Achieves Amazon Linux 2 Ready Designation
SAN FRANCISCO April 21,2020 Kong Inc., a leading cloud connectivity company, announced today that it has achieved the Amazon Linux 2 Ready designation, part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Service Ready Program. This designation recognizes that Kong Enterprise has been validated to run on and support Amazon Linux 2.
Achieving the Amazon Linux 2 Ready designation differentiates Kong as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member with a generally available product that runs on Amazon Linux 2 and is fully supported for AWS customers. AWS Service Ready Partners have demonstrated success building products integrated with AWS services, helping AWS customers evaluate and use their technology productively, at scale and varying levels of complexity.
"Kong is happy to have achieved Amazon Linux 2 Ready Designation. This designation will allow AWS users to confidently deploy and run the Kong open source gateway as well as the Kong Enterprise API platform on Amazon Linux 2," said Reza Shafii, VP of Product at Kong Inc. "With AWS, Kong can provide an even more effective, modern full lifecycle API management solution to enable the benefits of scalable, decentralized applications that run in the cloud."
To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Service Ready Program to help customers identify products integrated with AWS services and spend less time evaluating new tools, and more time scaling their use of products that are integrated or run on select AWS Services.
