on May 30, 2023
Note: The content on this page uses the former names of Checkmk editions. Checkmk Cloud (self-hosted) is now Checkmk Ultimate.
With the newly released Checkmk Cloud (self-hosted), Checkmk users enjoy even more flexibility and deployment options. Checkmk Cloud's mission is to be the central monitoring tool for a hybrid world, providing a holistic view of both on-premises and cloud infrastructure. Cloud native deployment options, and with it the ability to more seamlessly integrate Checkmk with a cloud stack, are an important pillar in that strategy.
Starting today, Checkmk Cloud (self-hosted) is available on the AWS and Azure Marketplaces as an AMI and Virtual Machine, respectively. These pre-configured and pre-packaged software images can be quickly deployed to create virtual instances within user tenants. By utilizing these marketplace offerings, users can easily provision and launch virtual machines, saving time and effort in setting up and configuring the infrastructure from scratch.
Use Cases
With the ability to natively run Checkmk Cloud in a cloud environment, it is now easier than ever to seamlessly integrate all aspects of your hybrid monitoring in one place. Cloud-based monitoring also allows for centralized management and monitoring of distributed systems and resources, making it easier to track and analyze data from multiple sources.
Benefit from the scalability in the cloud, and the ability to upgrade and adjust virtualized resources according to your needs.
Contract Options
We are offering both marketplace images with a ‘Bring Your Own License’ model (BYOL). This allows existing users to quickly deploy additional instances in the cloud while continuing to use their existing license.
