Rancher

Rancher is a complete software stack for teams adopting containers. It addresses the operational and security challenges of managing multiple Kubernetes clusters.

When to Use

• Enterprise Multi-Cluster Kubernetes Management: Centralized management of EKS, GKE, AKS, and bare-metal RKE2 clusters.
• Unified RBAC & Global Authentication: Mapping enterprise Okta/Active Directory groups to Kubernetes RBAC across all clusters.
• Fleet GitOps Deployment: Continuous delivery of Kubernetes configurations across thousands of geographically distributed clusters.
• Cluster Security & CIS Benchmarks: Running scheduled automated security audits and compliance scans.
