On June 24, 2019, KubeCon+CloudNativeCon+Open Source Summit landed in China again, opening the curtain at the Shanghai World Expo Center. More than 3500 R & D experts, architects and technology leaders from Asian countries participated in the event to share, popularize, discuss and promote the development of Kubernetes ecological and cloud native technologies.

Rancher Labs, a leading provider of container management software (hereinafter referred to as Rancher), participated deeply in the event as a platinum sponsor of the event. During the conference, the Rancher booth continued to be full, filled with Kubernetes enthusiasts and cloud native technology leaders.

So, what surprises did KubeCon+CloudNativeCon+Open Source Summit,Rancher bring to the Kubernetes enthusiasts and cloud native technology leaders on the spot? Let's have a quick review together.

Pay attention to marginal technological innovation and broaden the new boundary of K8S development

In order to better show Kubernetes enthusiasts and cloud native technology leaders how to use Rancher to promote K8S landing in the cloud, data center and edge, Jiang Peng, Technical Director of Rancher Greater China, gave a Demo demonstration entitled "how to manage K8S clusters in the cloud, data center and edge" at Demo Theater (Show Theater). The contents include:

How to install a K3s cluster: a lightweight open source Kubernetes distribution with only 40MB

Manage Kubernetes clusters at the data center and edge

Multi-cluster application deployment

Global DNS integration

In 2019, Rancher released three lightweight new products successively-K3s, the lightest Kubernetes release in history, k3OS, the industry's first Kubernetes operating system, and Rio, the Kubernetes minimalist MicroPaaS platform, which received high attention and praise from the industry. These projects focus on lightweight, simple, and flexible Kubernetes projects, providing a wider range of usage scenarios for Kubernetes and truly Kubernetes Everywhere.

"Multi-cluster Kubernetes management has gradually become a concept accepted by the public, which is the innovation and attempt of Rancher at the Kubernetes level. Next, we hope to pay more attention to the technological innovation of edge nodes, really bring K8S to all places and create value for edge computing." Liang Sheng, co-founder and CEO of Rancher, said: "K3s is currently a relatively successful open source project for Rancher, but we are very clear that we still have a lot of work to do in the direction of edge computing."

Promote the landing of enterprise-level K8S and deeply empower the industry ecology

The development of container technology is cyclical, and Kubernetes is becoming a commodity widely used by cloud computing service providers and data centers from the initial stage to the mature stage. In addition to K3s, Rancher also brings a demonstration of enterprise-level multi-cluster K8S management platform Rancher for Kubernetes enthusiasts and cloud native technology leaders at this event.

In March 2019, Rancher released Rancher 2.2 GA, the most important product version of Rancher Labs to date. In the previous release of 2.2 technology preview, features such as support for multi-cluster applications and integrated Prometheus advanced monitoring have been released. The main new feature highlights of Rancher 2.2 GA include:

Rancher Global DNS

Disaster preparedness and recovery of cluster

Advanced monitoring function of multi-cluster and multi-tenant

Deployment and management of a single application across multiple Kubernetes clusters

Multi-tenant application directory

"with the exponential growth of Kubernetes adoption, enterprise IT personnel have been looking for a simple, reliable, and repeatable way to configure, manage, and support enterprise Kubernetes clusters, and more and more enterprise Kubernetes clusters are deployed across local and cloud environments." "the creative new features in Rancher 2.2 will greatly simplify the configuration and management of enterprise Kubernetes by IT operators, while giving enterprise IT developers more control over their applications," Liang said.

Continuous innovation, all open source

Rancher has always been a leading player in the field of Kubernetes and containers, with high recognition and strong influence in the field of Kubernetes and container ecology. Rancher is a core member of CNCF and a veteran member of CNCF. Shannon Williams, co-founder of Rancher Labs, is a member of the CNCF management committee. In addition, Rancher is also the first platform in the world to obtain CNCF Kubernetes consistency certification.

This year's KubeCon+CloudNativeCon+Open Source Summit has come to a successful conclusion, but in the future, Rancher will adhere to the product concept of "only the technology and products landed in the enterprise production environment is good technology and good products", and continue to provide users with leading container technology and products, so that enterprises can land more simply and safely in the production environment.
