Organizations today are looking for ways to modernize their infrastructure while maintaining control, flexibility, and long-term stability, all while avoiding vendor lock-in. The combination of OpenNebula and SUSE addresses these needs by delivering a complete sovereign cloud platform for virtualization, Kubernetes, and edge deployments. Together, they provide an end-to-end solution spanning the full infrastructure stack—from the operating system and virtualization layer to Kubernetes management—allowing organizations to run virtual machines, Kubernetes clusters, and edge workloads on a unified platform.

A Solid Foundation for Enterprise Cloud

The platform runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES), providing a hardened, enterprise-grade operating system for both infrastructure and workloads. This foundation ensures long-term stability and support, maintains relevant security certifications, and allows predictable lifecycle management across all environments. OpenNebula delivers the core cloud and virtualization management layer, enabling organizations to build private and hybrid cloud environments while managing compute, storage, and networking resources efficiently. Secure multi-tenancy, consistent governance, and automated lifecycle management create a transparent operational model across all services.

Kubernetes Without the Usual Complexity

When Kubernetes is required, OpenNebula integrates seamlessly with SUSE Rancher and the validated RKE2 distribution to provide a fully supported experience. Clusters are provisioned and managed through standardized, repeatable workflows, ensuring consistency across environments and giving organizations the flexibility to adopt Kubernetes at their own pace. Integrated storage and networking capabilities simplify cloud operations at scale, allowing dynamic provisioning of storage, networking, and load balancing for both virtual machine and Kubernetes workloads, while maintaining operational consistency across deployment models.

A Practical Alternative to Proprietary Stacks

OpenNebula and SUSE offer a certified and fully supported platform, with validated deployment architectures and coordinated support that ensures reliability in production environments. This combination provides a secure, stable, and long-term alternative to proprietary platforms such as VMware and Nutanix, without sacrificing flexibility or openness. Organizations can modernize their infrastructure while maintaining full control over their environment and avoiding vendor lock-in.
