SUSE Technical Reference Documents: Kubernetes Reference Configurations Integrated with Dell Technologies

SUSE and Dell Technologies continue to deliver joint solutions that help you in your digital transformation journey. Here are six reference configurations for SUSE and SUSE Rancher on Dell Technologies PowerEdge servers.

1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.1, K3s 1.20.14
   Layered Stack Deployment of K3s
   The purpose of this document is to provide an overview and procedure of implementing SUSE (R) and partner offerings for K3s, an official CNCF sandbox project that delivers a lightweight yet powerful certified Kubernetes distribution designed for production workloads across resource-restrained, remote locations or on Edge IoT devices.
2. SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.1, K3s 1.20.14, SUSE Rancher 2.5.12
   Layered Stack Deployment of SUSE Rancher
   The purpose of this document is to provide an overview and procedure of implementing SUSE (R) and partner offerings for SUSE Rancher, as a multi-cluster container management platform for organizations that deploy containerized workloads, orchestrated by Kubernetes. SUSE Rancher makes it easy to deploy, manage, and use Kubernetes everywhere, meet IT requirements, and empower DevOps teams.
3. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3, K3s 1.20.14
   Layered Stack Deployment of K3s
   The purpose of this document is to provide an overview and procedure of implementing SUSE (R) and partner offerings for K3s, an official CNCF sandbox project that delivers a lightweight yet powerful certified Kubernetes distribution designed for production workloads across resource-restrained, remote locations or on Edge IoT devices.
4. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3, K3s 1.20.14, SUSE Rancher 2.5.12
   Layered Stack Deployment of SUSE Rancher
   The purpose of this document is to provide an overview and procedure of implementing SUSE (R) and partner offerings for SUSE Rancher, as a multi-cluster container management platform for organizations that deploy containerized workloads, orchestrated by Kubernetes. SUSE Rancher makes it easy to deploy, manage, and use Kubernetes everywhere, meet IT requirements, and empower DevOps teams.
5. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3, Rancher Kubernetes Engine 1.2.16
   Layered Stack Deployment of Rancher Kubernetes Engine
   The purpose of this document is to provide an overview and procedure of implementing SUSE (R) and partner offerings for Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE), a Kubernetes distribution that runs entirely within containers on bare-metal and virtualized nodes. RKE solves the problem of installation complexity and the operation is both simplified and easily automated, while entirely accommodating the operating system and platform it is running on.
6. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3, Rancher Kubernetes Engine Government 1.20.14
   Layered Stack Deployment of Rancher Kubernetes Engine Government
   The purpose of this document is to provide an overview and procedure of implementing SUSE (R) and partner offerings for Rancher Kubernetes Engine Government (RKE2), a Kubernetes distribution that runs entirely within containers on bare-metal and virtualized nodes. RKE2 solves the problem of installation complexity and the operation is both simplified and easily automated, while entirely accommodating the operating system and platform it is running on. Also being a hardened, FIPS-enabled version, it adopts a compliance-based approach towards security, targeting standard risk m
