Cross-posted to Linux-390, IBMVM, and IBM-Main
All,
On May 3rd, 2022, SUSE announced that beginning tomorrow, June first,
the following products will be available for IBM Z:
- SUSE Rancher Manager
- SUSE Rancher Kubernetes Engine 2
- Longhorn Storage
For anyone not familiar with Rancher, which given this audience I assume
is almost everyone , it provides "multi-cluster Kubernetes management,"
also known as "orchestration." The relatively short announcement can be
found at
https://www.suse.com/storage/partner/pa/announcements/all/2022/20318.html
Unlike Red Hat's OpenShift product, SUSE Rancher should work with any
modern Linux distribution. The intent is to support all IBM supported
Linux distributions for IBM Z and LinuxONE. Of course we would prefer
that you run it on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, but that is not a
requirement.
For anyone inclined to torture themselves, significant amounts of
marketing material can be seen at
https://www.suse.com/products/suse-rancher/
Additionally, there will be presentations given on SUSE Rancher for IBM
Z at both SUSECon, and SHARE in Columbus, Ohio.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact your local SUSE sales
representative, or call 1-800-796-3700.
