Rancher is a container management platform focused on delivering containers on any infrastructure. It has support for multiple environments which could make use of one of the multiple container orchestrators available (at the time of this writing) – Cattle, Kubernetes, Swarm and Mesos. In our previous blog post we showed how we built rancher-agent containers […]
In our previous blog post we explained how networking works in Rancher in a Cattle environment. There we also mentioned that we have been working on enabling Rancher to operate on heterogeneous compute infrastructures – for example, a mixed environment comprised of ARM based edge devices connected to VMs running in the cloud. In this […]
As noted elsewhere, we’re looking at Rancher in the context of one of our projects. We’ve been doing some work on enabling it to work over heterogeneous compute infrastructures – one of which could be an ARM based edge device and one a standard x86_64 cloud execution environment. Some of our colleagues were asking how […]
In the context of the FINEXT project, we have been reviewing Rancher as a tool to support easy deployment of FIWARE components. (Our colleagues in the project have more experience with this tool – we’re still climbing the learning curve). Here are a few observations relating to Rancher. The primary problem that Rancher solves is […]
