Translation of this article written by John Armstrong on Jan 20, 2021





As we enter the new year, it's time to reflect on Tigera's accomplishments and how  Calico Enterprise has changed over the past year and how it has become the leading security and monitoring solution for Kubernetes networks and microservices . Tigera's enterprise user experience helped identify the most critical user requirements for successfully deploying Kubernetes clusters and successfully moving from pilot to production projects. This knowledge helped Tigera create the Calico Enterprise system, the architecture of which is presented below. Let's take a look at this multi-functional layer cake from the bottom up.
