About Rancher
Rancher by SUSE is an open-source platform for managing Kubernetes at scale. It provides a unified interface for provisioning, managing, and securing Kubernetes clusters across any infrastructure, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge.
The platform simplifies cluster operations with one-click Kubernetes upgrades, centralized authentication, monitoring, and alerting. It supports multiple Kubernetes distributions including RKE, K3s, and hosted providers like EKS, AKS, and GKE.
Rancher includes built-in security features like CIS scanning, OPA Gatekeeper integration, and network policies. Its application catalog enables one-click deployment of Helm charts.
As part of SUSE, Rancher benefits from enterprise support, long-term maintenance, and integration with SUSE Linux Enterprise for a complete cloud-native stack.
