Simplifying VM Migrations

For infrastructure administrators, migrating virtual machines from vSphere to SUSE Virtualization has historically been a high-friction, error-prone endeavor. The complexity of mapping networks, storage, and metadata across disparate environments often results in long, manual processes that feel disconnected from the rest of the management workflow.

Running highly available virtualization at the Edge with just two data nodes

Edge computing always presents a familiar puzzle. You need your applications to be highly available because out there in the real world, things break. But you also have to fit your hardware into cramped, power-constrained cabinets. And, frankly, you need to stay within a reasonable budget.

Field Notes: Using the Harvester CSI Driver to consume Longhorn storage in your guest cluster

When running a guest Kubernetes cluster inside SUSE Virtualization/Harvester, you get the best of both worlds: bare-metal performance with VM-level flexibility. It's a really common pattern: you installed your Rancher and downstream nodes as guest VMs and now you need to access the host storage (SUSE Storage/Longhorn).
