Are you or your team currently looking for your next-generation architecture? Or perhaps are you already there, but looking for the best way to automate and manage it. In this blog, we’re going to talk about deploying Rancher environments using the power of env0. Rancher is a complete software stack for teams adopting containers.

With massive adoption of Kubernetes at enterprises worldwide, we are seeing Kubernetes going to new extremes. On the one hand, Kubernetes is being adopted for workloads at the edge and delivering value beyond the data center. On the other hand, Kubernetes is being used to drive Machine Learning (ML) and high-quality, high-speed data analysis capabilities.

Cloud-native is the ultimate buzzword lately. So, is “cloud-native storage” just an attempt to grab on to this concept, hoping for a little boost? Actually, there is something more to it, and I’ll unpack that here. The premise of cloud-native storage is simple: its native habitat is a Kubernetes cluster. When we design with the assumption that a technology will exist in Kubernetes, we get to look around and see what functionalities already exist in that system.

In July, I announced SUSE's intent to acquire Rancher Labs, and now that the acquisition is final, today we embark on a new journey with SUSE. I couldn't be more excited about our future and what this means for our customers around the world. Just as Rancher made computing everywhere a possibility for our customers, with SUSE, we will empower our customers to innovate everywhere.

Today Amazon announced Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D), a Kubernetes distribution based on and used by Amazon EKS. Amazon EKS Distro enables you to create reliable and secure Kubernetes clusters using the same versions of Kubernetes and its dependencies deployed by Amazon EKS. Each Amazon EKS Distro release follows the EKS process, verifying new Kubernetes versions for compatibility.

Since 2014, Rancher Labs has been making it easier for IT professionals to handle containers. Until now, every release of their flagship product, Rancher, brought features that you wouldn’t want to be without. But the latest releases have really taken things up a few notches.
