In 2.8, Rancher added a new field to the GlobalRoles resource (inheritedClusterRoles), which allows users to grant permissions on all downstream clusters. With the addition of this field, it is now possible to create a custom global role that grants user-configurable permissions on all current and future downstream clusters. This post will outline how to create this role using the new Rancher Kubernetes API, which is currently the best-supported method to use this new feature.

It is our pleasure to introduce the first officially supported API with Rancher v2.8: the Rancher Kubernetes API, or RK-API for short. Since the introduction of Rancher v2.0, a publicly supported API has been one of our most requested features. The Rancher APIs, which you may recognize as v3 (Norman) or v1 (Steve), have never been officially supported and can only be automated using our Terraform Provider.

The Rancher by SUSE team has been dedicated to fortifying the Rancher platform to be the most interoperable and adaptable platform for our customers and the wider community over the past year. In late 2022, we introduced the ‘Extensions Catalog.’, and earlier this year at KubeCon Europe in Amsterdam, we revealed our Rancher UI Extensions framework. Continuing this momentum, we are thrilled to announce the release of Rancher 2.8 and Rancher Prime 2.0.

Uyuni is a fully open source configuration and infrastructure management tool for Linux that helps you easily manage and update server estates. It is also the upstream project from which SUSE Manager (SUMA) is derived. Earlier this year, the project introduced support for openEuler, the popular open-source Linux distribution platform. Join us on this Rancher Live episode with Zhenyu Zheng, community operations manager and maintainer of several special interest groups within the openEuler project, to learn more about the project & its collaboration with Uyuni.

The rise of Edge deployments has changed the landscape of problems that enterprises face. The growing importance of zero-touch provisioning at the edge has caused a shift in how downstream workloads are deployed and configured. Low bandwidth and air-gapped scenarios have complicated the existing provisioning workflows, shifting the configuration burden from a post-deployment solution to the base image.

This newly-updated, in-depth guidebook provides a detailed overview of the features and functionality of the new Rancher: an open-source enterprise Kubernetes platform.

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.

At Rancher Labs we love containers, and love the experience they bring to developers. We love their portability, ease-of-use, and rich ecosystem support. We believe that Kubernetes is on the verge of turning from developer’s favorite tool to the de-facto large-scale production platform. So we have built tools that help organizations run their applications and services on herds of containers that can roam across Kubernetes clusters and clouds.

One Platform for Everyone who uses Kubernetes:

  • Multi-Cluster Management: Rancher was built to manage Kubernetes everywhere it runs. It can easily deploy new clusters from scratch, launch EKS, GKE and AKS clusters, or even import existing Kubernetes clusters.
  • Unified Operations: With Rancher, ops teams have the same control and management tools across dev, staging and production Kubernetes clusters.
  • Centralized Policy Management: Ensure container security is implemented consistently with centralized security policies that can be applied across every Kubernetes cluster managed by Rancher.
  • Authentication and RBAC: Rancher connects with Active Directory, LDAP and other authentication systems to ensure users only have the appropriate access to Kubernetes.
  • Intuitive Interface: Rancher gives users native access to the Kubernetes API and CLI, but also provides an intuitive UI for managing pods, ingress policies, storage, secrets and service discovery.
  • Integrated Tooling: DevOps teams can connect Rancher with existing tools, or choose to use integrated deployments of monitoring, logging, alerting and CI/CD.

Manage Kubernetes Everywhere with Rancher.
