TOPIC:
Update on SuSE Linux
by Michael Carrington
Including:
Rancher Labs acquistion (Kubernettes system) by SUSE Corp.
and
SuSE Storage update.
Rancher is a complete software stack for teams adopting containers.
It addresses the operational and security challenges of managing multiple Kubernetes
clusters, while providing DevOps teams with integrated tools for running containerized
workloads.
There's only one version of Rancher; it's 100% free and open-source software.
A fundamental difference between Kubernetes and Docker is that Kubernetes is meant to run
across a cluster while Docker runs on a single node.
Kubernetes is more extensive than Docker Swarm and is meant to coordinate clusters of
nodes at scale in production in an efficient manner.
Kubernetes contains powerful functionality for orchestrating applications and guaranteeing
service availability.
Rancher adds a complete UI and workload management layer to Kubernetes, that simplifies
adoption and integrates CI/CD as well as key open source projects
The Top Alternatives & Competitors to Rancher:
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) (173)
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform. (50)
Kubernetes. (48)
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) (31)
Docker
AWS Fargate. ...

Portainer. ...
Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise)
