Why Rancher Prime? (2024)

FAQs

Which of these is a good use case for Rancher Prime? ›

Rancher Prime makes it easy for teams to deploy applications built on Kubernetes. Get visibility into everything running on a cluster and simply define scheduling rules, health checks, ingress controllers, secrets, storage, and other key configurations.

The Rancher project will continue to be 100% open source. Prime introduces additional value with greater security assurances, extended lifecycles, access to focused architectures and Kubernetes advisories.

With Rancher, you can easily deploy, upgrade, and scale clusters, manage containerized applications, monitor cluster resources, and enhance security.

Rancher has market share of 0.61% in containers-and-microservices market. Rancher competes with 53 competitor tools in containers-and-microservices category. The top alternatives for Rancher containers-and-microservices tool are Redux with 78.56%, Docker with 10.79%, Google Cloud Functions with 4.16% market share.

Rancher Prime unites Kubernetes clusters with centralized authentication and access control, enterprise security, auditing, backups, upgrades, observability and alerts.

Rancher users can deploy an entire multi-container clustered application from the application catalog with one click of a button. Users can manage the deployed applications and perform fully automated upgrades when new versions of the application become available.

Rancher uses the Kubernetes key value store etcd, to store the Kubernetes cluster state in a key-value pair format. The storage use of etcd is one of the reasons why we should install Rancher on a highly available cluster in production. etcd will run on multiple nodes to ensure a backup for failovers.

Hello! We have no paid subscription of any kind for rancher - we are using the “free” version without any support.

Kubernetes and Rancher are both open source solutions for working on containers. However, they aren't alternative solutions. The first one is a container orchestration technology, while the second allows users to manage multiple Kubernetes' clusters more efficiently.

Rancher, or Kubernetes AND Rancher? Kubernetes and Rancher are both open source solutions for working on containers. However, they aren't alternative solutions. The first one is a container orchestration technology, while the second allows users to manage multiple Kubernetes' clusters more efficiently.

Kubernetes: Kubernetes focuses on managing individual clusters, and it does not have built-in support for managing multiple clusters out of the box. Rancher: Rancher provides a unified interface to manage multiple Kubernetes clusters across different environments (on-premises, cloud, or hybrid).

Unlike Rancher, Portainer does not deal with infrastructure. Instead, it focuses on providing the optimal interface for containerized app deployment and management. Portainer provides deep visibility into the state of each container. You want to run Docker Swarm.
