Why OpenNebula with SUSE

OpenNebula, together with SUSE Linux Enterprise and SUSE Rancher, delivers a complete sovereign cloud platform—from the operating system and virtualization layer to Kubernetes management.

Together, they provide a secure, stable, and long-term alternative to proprietary stacks such as VMware and Nutanix, without sacrificing flexibility or openness.

Run virtual machines, Kubernetes, and edge workloads on a unified infrastructure, adopting Kubernetes where it makes sense—without being locked into a single model.

Enterprise Linux Foundation

OpenNebula runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES) to provide a hardened, enterprise-grade operating system for cloud infrastructure and workloads. This ensures long-term stability, security certifications, and predictable lifecycle management across infrastructure services, virtual machines, and edge environments.

OpenNebula Cloud Infrastructure

OpenNebula provides the core cloud and virtualization layer with secure multi-tenancy, resource governance, and automated lifecycle management across compute, storage, and networking. It enables organizations to build private and hybrid clouds with full control, transparency, and operational consistency.

Kubernetes with Rancher and RKE2

When Kubernetes is required, OpenNebula integrates with SUSE Rancher and RKE2 distribution to provide a fully supported, enterprise-grade Kubernetes experience. Kubernetes clusters are provisioned and operated on OpenNebula infrastructure using standardized, repeatable workflows.
