Rancher as a Service (RaaS)

Introduction

In the era of DevOps and micro-services, Kubernetes is playing an important role in the IaaS ecosystem, enabling flexibility and simplification of the application's underlying platform implementation.
However, this is true to certain level of extent meaning only when you have a wide-range of tools that allow you to control, monitor and scale your infrastructure upon your application needs.

Rancher is a complete, 100% open-source 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 containerised workloads. 

Webinars
