K3s, the lightweight- certified Kubernetes distribution created by Rancher Labs, has become a popular choise for IoT and edge computing. But Rancher users have been asking for tighter integration between Rancher Server and K3s. With Rancher 2.4, new Rancher HA installations can be installed on K3s clusters with external SQL databases. This setup simplifies cluster administration with no need to operate etcd. Management of the database can be offloaded to hosted solutions like RDS running MySQL. In this Kubernetes Master Class, Rancher Software Engineers will discuss and demo the new K3s support in Rancher, review use cases and best practices.

This is the recording of the virtual launch event for the GA launch of the CNCF project Longhorn. When combined with Rancher, Longhorn provides DevOps teams with a lightweight, reliable cloud-native management and storage orchestration platform for any Kubernetes environment. Originally created by Rancher as an open source project in 2017, Longhorn was donated to the CNCF in 2019 as a sandbox project. On May 28, Longhorn will reach ‘General Availability’ status, providing the cloud-native ecosystem with lightweight and reliable persistent storage solution for Kubernetes.

Reports are among one of the most powerful and ubiquitous aspects of the Orion Platform.

OpsRamp’s recent survey found that 91% of IT operations teams were looking to increase spending with managed service providers (MSPs). The major reasons for working with MSPs to monitor and manage hybrid infrastructure were technical expertise (63%), security know-how (52%), and cost optimization (50%). A modern IT operations management (ITOM) platform can help MSPs tame infrastructure complexity by monitoring legacy and modern environments, deliver the right operational context to better understand the impact of infrastructure on the health of IT services, use machine learning techniques to improve critical operational metrics, and handle customer requirements for compliance with secure access to hybrid and cloud IT infrastructure. In this Tech Talk, we'll review key OpsRamp platform technology that enables service providers to accelerate digital transformation for their customers.
