With support for the new API management capabilities of AWS, Kony MobileFabric now enables any mobile app to take advantage of and reuse web services reliably, securely and at scale.”
The following versions of Kony MobileFabric are available in the AWS Marketplace:

This is a fully featured version of Kony MobileFabric that will run on a single node on AWS for development or smaller production environments.
