OpenChoreo is a complete, open-source Internal Developer Platform (IDP) for Kubernetes. It provides reusable platform and developer abstractions as APIs, a Backstage-powered developer portal, built-in CI/CD, GitOps workflows, RBAC and observability. OpenChoreo is a CNCF project.
WSO2 Developer Platform for OpenChoreo is an open-source Internal Developer Platform (IDP), a CNCF Sandbox project delivered on AWS with enterprise support. It is a Kubernetes-native platform that provides a production-ready IDP for building and operating software at scale on AWS. The platform offers opinionated abstractions for developers, strong governance controls for platform teams, and AI-agent-ready interfaces for autonomous operations, backed by enterprise-grade support from WSO2.
Why OpenChoreo on AWS
Organizations often assemble in-house developer platforms using services such as Amazon EKS, AWS CodePipelines, CloudWatch, API Gateways, and Cognito (among others) with Backstage portals and scripts, resulting in high integration overhead and ongoing maintenance. OpenChoreo replaces this with a single Kubernetes-native IDP on EKS, where platform teams define standardized golden paths once using CRDs, and developers and agents consume them via portal, CLI, MCP Servers and/or GitOps. The result is a faster path to production, built-in governance, reduced operational complexity, and an AWS App Runner-like developer experience while retaining full control over AWS infrastructure.
The problem OpenChoreo solves
Developers and platform engineers have different expectations from the same platform. Developers require a streamlined, self-service experience, while platform engineers need control, governance, and visibility into the underlying infrastructure. Many internally built platforms optimize for one group at the expense of the other, forcing teams to integrate and maintain multiple systems such as developer portals, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, observability stacks, and access controls. OpenChoreo addresses this by providing a fully integrated IDP from day one, combining developer self-service with platform-level control without the need for ongoing integration overhead.

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
This listing is offered free of charge. Pricing has one dimension: Nodes (Units), which counts the nodes you deploy. You add nodes as your platform footprint grows, so the single dimension scales with your deployment size rather than with usage hours or feature tiers. The platform installs on any Kubernetes environment, whether public cloud, hybrid, or on-premises. Because there is no charge on this dimension, node count reflects the scope of your deployment rather than a billed amount. There are no separate tiers or add-on dimensions to select.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one node for the Nodes (Units) dimension?
A node is a compute unit in your Kubernetes cluster where the platform is deployed. You count each node you run the software on. As your cluster grows and you add more nodes, your node count rises to match your deployment footprint.
Does my cost change as I add or remove nodes?
This listing carries no charge on the Nodes (Units) dimension. Adding or removing nodes changes your recorded node count but does not create a software fee. Node count reflects deployment scope, not a billed amount. Underlying AWS infrastructure costs are separate and still apply.
Where can I run the platform, and does node count depend on the environment?
You can install on any Kubernetes environment: public cloud, hybrid, or on-premises. Node count reflects the nodes you deploy in whichever environment you choose. The deployment target does not change how nodes are counted for this dimension.

Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.
Version release notes
Initial release of WSO2 Developer Platform for OpenChoreo on AWS Marketplace.
OpenChoreo is an open-source Internal Developer Platform (IDP) for Kubernetes, originally developed by WSO2. It provides development and architecture abstractions, a Backstage-powered developer portal, application CI/CD, GitOps, and observability. OpenChoreo is a CNCF Sandbox project.
This release deploys OpenChoreo v1.0.0 onto a fully provisioned AWS environment using a single CloudFormation template that automates the entire setup:
Infrastructure provisioned:
Amazon EKS cluster (configurable version, instance type, and node count)
Amazon Cognito user pool with pre-configured admin, developer, and viewer roles
AWS Secrets Manager for secure credential management
Amazon ECR repository for application build artifacts
VPC with public/private subnets across 2 AZs, NAT gateway, and internet gateway
Elastic IPs for control plane, data plane, and observability plane
AWS Load Balancer Controller with IRSA
External Secrets Operator with IRSA
EBS CSI driver with IRSA
The bootstrap container runs as a Kubernetes job, automatically installing all OpenChoreo Helm charts including the control plane, data plane, workflow plane, and observability plane.
Supports custom domain configuration or quick-start mode using nip.io.
Requirements:
An AWS account with permissions to create the above resources
A valid email address for the initial admin user
Minimum 3 nodes (c8i-flex.xlarge recommended)

Choreo made it easy to automate some background scraping scripts I needed to run for my website. It is super reliable and just works. There is a some learning curve with the UI but it is easy enough to get started.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is on the high end. I had credits. It would be hard to justify the spending without credits.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, Choreo solved the pain of setting up a server, cron, etc and just enabled me to directly pull and run my automation script from Git without a hassle.
