Driving Innovation with Extensible Interoperability in Rancher's Spring '23 Release

We’re on a mission to build the industry’s most open, secure and interoperable Kubernetes management platform. Over the past few months, the team has made significant advancements across the entire Rancher portfolio that we are excited to share today with our community and customers.

Kubernetes for Humans

Exciting days for Komodor! As KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU 2023 kicks off, we’re happy to share with the community our newest, developer-first set of capabilities.

Incident Response Guide

Site reliability engineering (SRE) is a critical discipline that focuses on ensuring the continuous availability and performance of modern systems and applications.

No one likes a company that appears simply like a black box with zero insight into what's happening.

Unhealthy code? Don't rely on customers to tell you

Does your software deployment process require that someone on your team manually checks different dashboards to verify that everything's okay? Do they actually do that when they deploy? Do you rely on customer complaints to notify you when something's wrong?

Allan Vermeulen On S3, Jeff Bezos, The Beatles, And Much More

As we were planning “Cloud Atlas,” our primary goal was to talk with someone who was “in the room” during the genesis of the cloud.

He has always enjoyed building things — whether “out of bits and software or boards and lumber,” Allan takes pleasure in creating useful things.
