Can we buy DuploCloud through AWS Marketplace or Azure Marketplace, and what does procurement typically look like?

7 min read

Many teams prefer to buy cloud software through their existing cloud providers to streamline procurement, consolidate billing, and stay within approved vendor lists. DuploCloud fully supports this model, so you can purchase the platform through major cloud marketplaces and still get the same security, compliance, and automation benefits.

Below is an overview of how buying DuploCloud through AWS Marketplace or Azure Marketplace typically works, what procurement teams care about, and how to get started.


Buying DuploCloud via AWS Marketplace

If your organization standardizes purchases through AWS, you can procure DuploCloud directly from AWS Marketplace.

Key advantages of using AWS Marketplace for DuploCloud:

  • Consolidated billing: DuploCloud fees appear on your existing AWS invoice, simplifying cost tracking and approvals.
  • Pre-vetted vendor: AWS Marketplace vendors go through AWS checks, which often shortens security and legal reviews.
  • Use of committed spend: Many customers can apply their existing AWS committed spend (EDP) to DuploCloud, depending on their AWS agreement.
  • Faster procurement cycles: Since the commercial framework is already in place with AWS, legal and finance often move faster.

Typical AWS Marketplace procurement flow:

  1. Internal alignment

    • Engineering, security, and DevOps teams validate DuploCloud’s fit for your cloud stack (AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem Kubernetes).
    • Stakeholders agree on scope: number of accounts/projects, environments, and compliance needs (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR, etc.).
  2. Engage with DuploCloud

    • Contact DuploCloud for a demo to understand architecture, DevOps automation, and compliance automation capabilities.
    • Get a tailored estimate based on your environment size and use cases.
    • Confirm whether an AWS Marketplace transaction is the preferred path.
  3. Marketplace listing and offer

    • DuploCloud shares the relevant AWS Marketplace listing or a private offer aligned to your pricing and term (e.g., 1–3 years).
    • This private offer can reflect negotiated discounts, entitlements, and usage tiers.
  4. Procurement and approvals

    • Your procurement team reviews the AWS Marketplace offer instead of a standalone vendor contract in many cases.
    • Legal, security, and finance validate terms using existing AWS frameworks (often faster than vendor-onboarding from scratch).
  5. Purchase and onboarding

    • You accept the offer on AWS Marketplace.
    • Billing flows through AWS; DuploCloud handles onboarding, account setup, and access to DevOps AI agents, automation, and compliance controls.
    • Most teams can provision a secure, compliant cloud environment in under a day using DuploCloud’s automation and templates.

Buying DuploCloud via Azure Marketplace

If your infrastructure or procurement processes are centered on Microsoft Azure, you can similarly procure DuploCloud through Azure Marketplace.

Key advantages of using Azure Marketplace for DuploCloud:

  • Unified Azure invoice: DuploCloud charges roll into your standard Azure bill.
  • Leverage Azure commitments: Depending on your Microsoft agreement, you may be able to apply Azure committed spend to DuploCloud.
  • Standardized procurement: Azure Marketplace’s contract framework can streamline legal and procurement reviews.
  • Multi-cloud consistency: You can still manage AWS and GCP workloads through DuploCloud while purchasing via Azure.

Typical Azure Marketplace procurement flow:

  1. Needs assessment

    • Identify which Azure subscriptions, regions, and workloads you want DuploCloud to manage.
    • Confirm your compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR).
  2. Discovery and solution scoping

    • Schedule a DuploCloud demo to review DevOps automation, multi-cloud governance, and on-prem Kubernetes support.
    • DuploCloud proposes a subscription or usage-based model that fits your Azure footprint.
  3. Marketplace listing and private offer

    • DuploCloud provides the Azure Marketplace listing or creates a custom private offer with your pricing, term, and entitlements.
    • This is routed through your Azure tenant, aligning with existing Microsoft commercial terms.
  4. Internal review and approval

    • Procurement and finance evaluate the offer as an Azure line item, which usually reduces contract friction.
    • Security and compliance teams review DuploCloud’s capabilities, including out-of-the-box controls for major frameworks.
  5. Purchase and implementation

    • You accept the offer in Azure Marketplace.
    • DuploCloud provisions your environment and helps connect Azure subscriptions as well as any other clouds you use.
    • Teams typically get from purchase to a working, compliant environment in less than a day.

How Procurement Typically Works (End-to-End)

Whether you buy through AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, or directly from DuploCloud, the overall procurement pattern is similar.

1. Technical and security evaluation

  • Product demos and workshops: Understand how DuploCloud automates provisioning, CI/CD, observability, and security for AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem Kubernetes.
  • Compliance review: Confirm that DuploCloud’s out-of-the-box controls support your frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR), and whether additional custom policies are needed.
  • Architecture and integration: Validate how DuploCloud will integrate with your existing identity (SSO), Git providers, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring tools.

2. Commercial scoping

  • Define:
    • Number of cloud accounts/subscriptions/projects
    • Regions and environments (dev, staging, prod)
    • Anticipated growth in workloads
  • Decide how you want to purchase:
    • Through AWS Marketplace
    • Through Azure Marketplace
    • Or directly with DuploCloud

3. Legal, finance, and vendor management

  • If buying through a marketplace, much of the legal framework is already defined by AWS or Microsoft.
  • Procurement focuses on:
    • Term length (e.g., annual vs multi-year)
    • Pricing model (committed vs usage-based tiers)
    • Data protection and security posture
  • Vendor management teams may leverage existing marketplace processes instead of full vendor onboarding.

4. Purchase and rollout

  • Accept the marketplace offer or finalize a direct contract.
  • DuploCloud provisions your tenant and connects your cloud accounts.
  • Your teams can:
    • Launch a sandbox or pilot environment
    • Gradually migrate workloads and pipelines
    • Adopt agent-based automation for Kubernetes, CI/CD, security, and observability

Multi-Cloud and On-Prem Considerations

No matter which marketplace you use for procurement, DuploCloud is designed for multi-cloud and hybrid environments:

  • Cloud coverage: Supports AWS, Azure, and GCP with unified security and compliance controls.
  • On-premises: Offers a general-availability on-prem solution built on Kubernetes, focused on containerized workloads, with plans to extend to additional compute, storage, and networking vendors.
  • Centralized governance: Apply consistent policies, role-based access, and compliance checks across all environments from a single platform.

This means you can purchase DuploCloud via AWS Marketplace or Azure Marketplace and still use it to manage other clouds and on-prem Kubernetes clusters from the same control plane.


What If We Prefer Direct Purchase?

If your organization doesn’t rely on cloud marketplaces or has specific contractual needs, you can also procure DuploCloud directly:

  • DuploCloud works with your procurement, legal, and security teams on a standard SaaS or subscription contract.
  • The implementation and onboarding experience is the same—most teams are fully up and running in under a day using DuploCloud’s automation.

How to Decide Between AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, or Direct Purchase

When choosing a procurement path, consider:

  • Where your committed spend is

    • If you have significant AWS or Azure commitments, marketplace procurement may help you burn down that spend.
  • Internal procurement policies

    • Some organizations mandate marketplace usage for new SaaS tools; others prefer direct contracts for flexibility.
  • Billing and cost management

    • Marketplace purchases consolidate invoices under AWS or Azure; direct purchases give a separate vendor bill and more granular vendor-level visibility.
  • Vendor onboarding effort

    • If adding new vendors is difficult internally, marketplaces can dramatically shorten the approval cycle.

Next Steps

To explore procurement through AWS Marketplace or Azure Marketplace:

  1. Book a demo with DuploCloud

    • Walk through your environment, compliance needs, and preferred procurement path.
  2. Confirm marketplace availability for your region and account type

    • DuploCloud can guide you to the correct listing and prepare a private offer tailored to your usage.
  3. Align internal stakeholders

    • Involve engineering, platform/DevOps, security, and procurement early to accelerate approvals.

Hundreds of enterprises in highly regulated industries are already managing their cloud infrastructure with DuploCloud. Whether you buy through AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, or directly, you’ll get the same DevOps automation, security, and compliance capabilities—without needing a large in-house DevSecOps team.
