The OpenNebula Kubernetes Cluster API provider (CAPONE) has officially been certified as SUSE Ready for Rancher. This recognition marks a key milestone for users seeking seamless, robust Kubernetes cluster provisioning on OpenNebula within the Rancher ecosystem.

CAPONE is an open source implementation of the Kubernetes Cluster API for OpenNebula. It enables users to declaratively manage the full lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters on OpenNebula virtualized clouds, leveraging industry-standard automation and best practices. With CAPONE, organizations benefit from consistent, repeatable, and scalable Kubernetes cluster management across diverse environments, all while remaining agnostic to the underlying infrastructure provider.

Benefits of Rancher Certification 

Rancher is a leading Kubernetes management platform, trusted worldwide for deploying, managing, and securing containers in production. Achieving Rancher Certification means CAPONE has been thoroughly validated by the Rancher team, ensuring:

• Seamless Integration: CAPONE and the CAPI Appliance work effortlessly with Rancher, enabling users to provision and manage Kubernetes clusters directly from the Rancher UI or API through the Rancher Turtles extension.
• Reliability and Support: Certification confirms that CAPONE meets Rancher’s quality and interoperability standards, backed by detailed documentation and the OpenNebula Community.
• Future-Proofing: Certified solutions are maintained to keep pace with updates from both Rancher and Kubernetes, providing a stable foundation for long-term projects.

You can find the official certification listing on the SUSE Rancher Partner Catalog.

This certification reaffirms OpenNebula’s commitment to providing powerful, flexible, and open solutions for cloud-native infrastructure.
