(VM) workloads, across multi-cluster compute and storage environments, all from a central point of control. It supports hard multi-tenancy for single or multi-cluster environments shared across many tenants The CN2 implementation consists of a set of Contrail controllers that reside on either Kubernetes control plane nodes or worker nodes depending on distribution. The Contrail controllers manage a distributed available and resilient network controller overseeing all aspects of the network configuration and control planes • Analytics services using telemetry and industry standard monitoring and presentation tools

Deployments are a fairly recent addition to the project, but provide a powerful and declarative way to control how service updates are performed and is recommended over rolling- updates. 1.3.9 Resource Monitoring Native Kubernetes Support in Rancher Rancher natively supports Kubernetes and allows users to control its features through a simple and intuitive UI. Kubernetes can be launched in a matter of minutes described below. You can of course change this as per your use case.

clusters from data center to cloud and edge and unites them with centralized authentication, access control, and observability. SUSE Rancher lets you streamline cluster deployment on bare metal, edge devices operations SUSE Rancher provides simple and consistent cluster operations including provisioning, version management, visibility and diagnostics, monitoring and alerting, and centralized audit. Security memory, it is recommended to host the different roles of the Kubernetes cluster such as etcd , control plane, and workers on different nodes, so that they can scale independently from one another.
