Using the Rancher platform and services, enterprise IT and DevOps teams can overcome the complexity of standing up and running multiple Kubernetes containers. However, as deployments scale, and the number of apps and workloads that teams have running on Kubernetes multiplies, complexity grows exponentially. Much of the difficulty centers on trying to find the best configuration settings for applications. Manual, trial-and-error approaches are ineffective, and always overprovisioning isn’t a viable strategy.

Terraform provides declarative Infrastructure as Code (IaC) management for many platforms, including Rancher 2.x servers. When using the Rancher2 provider alongside of other Terraform providers many manual tasks can be automated and standardized. In addition, infrastructure can be unit tested as is common with other code, extending rapid iteration into the infrastructure layer.

This is the Rancher training with Adrian Goins from July 24, 2020. In 90 minutes Adrian teaches you everything you need to know to get started with Kubernetes and Rancher.

Join us and find out how Enterprises that are using Rancher to manage and deploy applications on Kubernetes can use Prisma Cloud to provide complete security and compliance for their environments.

Join Rancher Labs and Microsoft this month to take a look at how Azure Arc for Kubernetes can integrate your Rancher clusters into the Azure portal. Organizations infrastructure is often a combination of on-premise and cloud-based solutions. Azure users now have the option to centralize their policy and compliance management through a single pane of glass in the Azure Resource Manager (check out our recent blog post here to learn more).

This video provides a short introduction to Rancher, the world’s most widely deployed Kubernetes management platform. With Rancher, IT organizations can deploy, manage and secure any Kubernetes deployment regardless of where it is running. Best of all, Rancher is intuitive to use, and built to support DevOps teams, as they use containers to automate operations and move to continuous delivery. Rancher is 100% free and open source.

In this video Adrian Goins shares more information about the SUSE acquisition of Rancher Labs and why this is an amazing move for both companies.

When you think of Kubernetes, you probably don't think "fast," but that's what K3s has at its core. Designed for resource-constrained environments like IoT and the Edge, K3s is lightning fast, robust, and powerful, and it includes innovative new features like its Helm controller. In this short video, Adrian Goins talks about K3s, MetalLB, Nginx, Traefik, and Helm while doing an install of a K3s system with MetalLB, Nginx, and Mosquitto in only a few minutes.

K3s, the lightweight- certified Kubernetes distribution created by Rancher Labs, has become a popular choise for IoT and edge computing. But Rancher users have been asking for tighter integration between Rancher Server and K3s. With Rancher 2.4, new Rancher HA installations can be installed on K3s clusters with external SQL databases. This setup simplifies cluster administration with no need to operate etcd. Management of the database can be offloaded to hosted solutions like RDS running MySQL. In this Kubernetes Master Class, Rancher Software Engineers will discuss and demo the new K3s support in Rancher, review use cases and best practices.
