Spot and AWS deliver an integrated deployment experience with CloudCheckr Built-in solution

Spot by NetApp is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop a CloudCheckr with AWS Built-in solution that automatically installs, configures, and integrates with native AWS Cloud Foundational Services across multiple domains, such as identity, governance, security, and operations.

As a premier partner of the AWS Built-in program, CloudCheckr is now offered as a turn-key solution that can be deployed quickly and easily through the AWS Marketplace.

 

CloudCheckr with AWS native services built-in

Organizations migrate to AWS to achieve their goals for scale, simplicity, and cost savings. However, along the way, users may struggle with the complex and often time-consuming process of operationalizing integrated solutions in a multi-account environment.

To support a seamless deployment, AWS Built-in solutions are integrated with AWS native services in an automated deployment package. Third-party software with the AWS Built-in designation now has all the power of AWS foundational services packaged into a single offering that can be automatically deployed based on AWS best practices to deliver peace of mind and a smooth cloud journey.

Using modularized code from AWS, CloudCheckr with AWS Built-in automatically deploys the CloudCheckr solution into the customer’s environment and configures AWS services in a single motion.  This reduces the time and complexity required for integration, while increasing security and monitoring capabilities, thereby helping customers to drive realized business value from AWS even faster.
