Aiven increases access to managed Apache Kafka by providing it on AWS Marketplace
Summary
Additionally, purchases of Aiven services through the marketplace will count toward customers’ cloud spending commitments with AWS. “Given the size and scope of AWS, it was a no brainer to simplify the procurement and accounting processes for their marketplace customers,” said Hannu Valtonen, VP Product at Aiven. This strategy enables the open source cloud provider to reach a new segment of potential customers who might not have been able to access Aiven’s products due to having different procurement rules that would have prevented it. With the ability to purchase Aiven through AWS, those users have better access to open source technology.
