We are starting 2017 by sharing [news](http://gravitational.com/blog/gravitational-tigera-partnership/) that our friends at Gravitational are making Calico available to their customers. Gravitational enables SaaS companies and independent software vendors to deploy and manage their applications on their customers’ infrastructure. The Gravitational Telekube platform leverages Kubernetes for container orchestration – and now, Calico for secure, policy-based networking. Gravitational’s CTO, Sasha Klizhentas, declared that Calico “has clearly become the de facto solution for Kubernetes networking”. We couldn’t agree more! We look forward to working with and supporting Gravitational and their customers.
