From purpose-built hardware to virtual machines and now containers, service providers and telcos are re-thinking how they deploy and deliver cloud and network services. These service providers are on a journey to break down their monolithic stacks into small, reusable components that are consistent with a micro-services architecture.

Rio -- Making Containers Fun Again. Deploy, manage, scale, and version your applications with a single command.

When it comes to containerizing user applications and deploying them on Kubernetes, it really comes down to 2 major parts - deploying the application and exposing it for access internally or externally. And as your application gets bigger, providing it with Load Balanced access becomes essential.

This video provides a short introduction to Rancher, an open-source container management platform that makes it easy for organizations to adopt Kubernetes. 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 Labs is excited to announce the immediate availability of k3OS -- a new lightweight operating system purpose-built for its popular k3s Kubernetes distribution. Announced in February, k3s is a lightweight Kubernetes distribution designed to run Kubernetes in resource-constrained environments.

As a cloud engineering team supporting multiple development teams, we needed a Kubernetes solution to allow us to manage multiple Kubernetes clusters. Additionally, we wanted to offload the administrative overhead of managing our Kubernetes clusters to reduce our internal administrative workload. We will talk through how we've leveraged Rancher and EKS to solve our needs.

Your Kubernetes clusters need ongoing attention to stay healthy and perform at their best. Rancher 2.2 monitors, manages, backs up, and restores Kubernetes clusters. It features new tools for controlling applications deployed across multiple clusters, plus a host of new flexibility around ongoing operations. With solutions for edge, multi-tenant, and multi-cloud clusters, Rancher eliminates redundant work, lightens the workload of operations teams, and increases the reliability of Kubernetes clusters and the applications they run.
