We are thrilled to announce the second round of partners joining the Azure Arc ISV Partner Program for Microsoft Build. Following its successful launch at Ignite last fall, this innovative program continues to grow, enabling partners to publish their offers on the Azure Marketplace for deployment to Arc-enabled Kubernetes clusters.
With this new wave, we’re also expanding the solution landscape by introducing four new categories—Security, Networking & Service Mesh, API Infrastructure & Management, and Monitoring & Observability. These additions reflect the evolving needs of hybrid and multi-cloud environments and highlight the breadth of innovation our partners bring to the Azure Arc ecosystem.
This new wave of collaborations marks a significant milestone in our journey to foster a vibrant ecosystem of innovation and excellence. This expansion marks a significant step forward in building a dynamic and innovative ecosystem that drives success for both customers and partners alike.
What is Azure Arc?
Azure Arc is the bridge that extends Azure to on-premises, edge, or even multi-cloud environments. It simplifies governance and management by delivering the consistency of the Azure platform. The ability to create offerings for Azure Arc in the marketplace is a significant benefit to our partners, allowing them to integrate with Azure services and tools and access a large and diverse customer base. Azure Arc enables partners to validate their applications and offer them to customers so they can manage their Kubernetes cluster on Azure. Edge developers can leverage these building blocks to develop their enterprise applications, and we aim to provide them with a one-stop shop in Azure Marketplace.
Meet our partners
The Azure Arc ISV Partner Program is focusing on expanding categories such as security, networking & service mesh, API infrastructure & management, monitoring & observability. We are excited to introduce our esteemed partners, HashiCorp, Traefik Labs, Solo.io, and Dynatrace, who have Arc-enabled their applications and will now be available on the Azure Marketplace. Here’s a closer look at their offerings:
HashiCorp
HashiCorp Vault Enterprise for Azure Arc enables organizations to manage access to secrets and protect sensitive data using identity-based security principles. As enterprises shift to hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, traditional perimeter-based security models fall short. Vault helps to address this challenge by authenticating every user and application, authorizing access based on identity and policy, encrypting secrets, and injecting just-in-time credentials. It also helps to automate the rotation of secrets, certificates, and encryption keys—reducing operational risk and improving compliance.
Traefik Labs
Traefik for Azure Arc empowers organizations to modernize and scale their AI and API runtime infrastructure across any Kubernetes in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. With over 3.3 billion downloads and 250,000+ production nodes globally, Traefik can be deployed in three modular and progressive phases—Application Proxy, API & AI Gateway, and API Management—meeting users where they are on their journey and enabling seamless transitions without vendor lock-in or disruptive migrations.
Traefik helps deliver zero-config service discovery across Kubernetes and other orchestrators, efficiently replacing legacy tools with simplified traffic routing and management. As needs grow, they more easily transition to comprehensive AI and API Gateway capabilities with centralized authentication and authorization, semantic caching for AI workloads, and data governance for responsible AI deployments. The final evolution helps introduce complete API governance, observability, self-service developer portals, and instant mock APIs—enabling unified management across both traditional and AI-enabled services without disruptive architectural changes.
By combining Azure Arc with Traefik, organizations gain more unified control over API and AI workloads, enhanced by features like semantic caching and content guard. This integration helps bridge fragmented environments, accelerates deployment, and enable clearer versioning boundaries—fundamental for scaling AI and API services across distributed systems.
