SUSE in Container Orchestration


Yes, SUSE being one of the top Linux open source software distributors has made a tremendous contribution in the Container Orchestration space with open source Kubernetes on the bottom layer. The story of SUSE's Container Orchestration journey kicked off after its acquisition of Rancher Labs (in the year 2020*) which was one the leading Container Orchestration distributions in the world. As of now, SUSE Rancher is one of the widely used Container Orchestration platforms around the world, The Red Hat OpenShift, VMware  Tanzu, Hasicorp Nomad, Docker Swarm, Apache Mesos etc, are some of the other leading Container Orchestration platforms available in market. Lets not forget the Container Orchestration options available from the hyperscalers such as Microsoft's AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), Google's GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine), AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) etc,. which are considered as Managed Container Orchestration Tools.
