The only enterprise Kubernetes platform that manages both self-hosted and cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters, Rancher has now added support for Huawei (News - Alert) Cloud Container Engine (CCE), Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) and Tencent Kubernetes Engine (TKE). "Rancher continues to be the unequivocal choice for enterprises running containers and Kubernetes in production," said Sheng Liang, CEO and co-founder of Rancher Labs. "As enterprises continue to adopt Kubernetes at a global level, it is vital that we continue to expand our support. We're pleased to be the only Kubernetes management platform to support cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters from all of the leading cloud providers." Expanded support for Huawei Cloud, Alibaba Cloud and Tencent Cloud Rancher is an open source Kubernetes management platform that allows organizations to deliver Kubernetes-as-a-Service to their employees and centrally manage all Kubernetes clusters, regardless of how the cluster was deployed, or where it is running. With Rancher 2.0, the company introduced the first platform to manage hosted Kubernetes services from Google (News - Alert) (GKE), Amazon (EKS) and Azure (AKS), enforcing consistent security policies, and providing an intuitive user experience across any cluster. Now with expanded support, organizations can accelerate the adoption of Kubernetes in China and deploy applications consistently anywhere in the world. This latest product update includes:
"As the largest public cloud service provider in China, and one of the world's top three IaaS providers, Alibaba Cloud is dedicated to empowering enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation with cloud native approach and open container technologies," said Mr. YiLi, director of engineering for Alibaba Cloud Container Technologies. "We are delighted to support Rancher through Alibaba Cloud Kubernetes Service (ACK).

"Born out of the open source Kubernetes system, Tencent Kubernetes Engine (TKE) provides container-centric, highly scalable and high-performance container management services," said Mr. Liang WenJie, Tencent Cloud PaaS product manager. "Rancher support for Tencent Kubernetes Engines is very helpful. Rancher users will now be able to leverage the richest set of features offered by TKE."
