Sydney – March 20 2024 – OVHcloud, the European Cloud leader, today kicks off the KubeCon Europe 2024, announcing new additions to its growing Public Cloud portfolio of over 40 products and solutions that encompasses a total of 8 different services: security, compute, storage, database, network services, analytics, AI and quantum. The Group’s public cloud offering is on a fast-paced growth trajectory and today, adds to its already impressive set of PaaS offerings by announcing the launch of OVHcloud Managed Rancher Service and a new Beta version of the OVHcloud Data Platform.
Acknowledging the new normal where Kubernetes nodes have become the de facto standard for modern workloads in many businesses and organisations, the need for their orchestration in a centralised and highly secure way has never been so important. OVHcloud Managed Rancher Service is a self-service, off-the-shelf solution that answers this challenge allowing for easier management of Kubernetes clusters at scale. Based on Rancher, fully operated by OVHcloud and developed in close partnership with SUSE, it offers support for diverse cloud-native scenarios and leverages a fully open-source platform, true to the Group’s values.
“We are excited to see OVHcloud offering our Rancher solution to its customer base. SUSE is all about openness and choice and combined with the top-of-the-line OVHcloud infrastructure, businesses and organisations alike will embrace the industry’s most widely adopted open-source enterprise container management platform for driving forward cloud native technologies,” said Peter Smails, General Manager, Enterprise Container Management at SUSE.
Available now in the Public Cloud universe as a Beta version, Rancher Managed Service allows for Multicloud and Hybrid Cloud scenarios, enabling management and orchestration of Kubernetes clusters regardless of their Cloud (Public Cloud, Private Cloud, On Premise, Third Party CSP, etc.). Customers benefit from a fully featured private Rancher deployment where users and management can be controlled through a single pane of glass UI with access to an extensible service catalog.
“Our collaboration with SUSE has been inspiring, thanks to our shared common European values and the same belief in open source. With this unique solution we not only renew our commitment towards open-source but we also offer SMB and corporate customers a state of the art solution for a fully reversible cloud,” said Yaniv Fdida, Chief Product and Technology Officer, OVHcloud.
OVHcloud Data Platform now available as Beta version
