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. Traditionally, if you wanted production-grade, distributed storage that could […]

Workload Repatriation Is a Resilience Strategy, Not an IT Project

Your board asks a simple question, "What happens to our operations if our hypervisor vendor changes the licensing terms next quarter?" The room goes quiet. Nobody has a good answer. That silence is your answer. It’s a question more boards should be […]

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). If you’ve browsed the SUSE Rancher Apps […]
