Canonical and Rancher Labs announce Kubernetes cloud native platform

Canonical, in partnership with Rancher Labs, has announced a turnkey application delivery platform built on Ubuntu, Kubernetes and Rancher 2.0. The new cloud native platform will make it easy for users to deploy, manage and operate containers on Kubernetes through a single workflow management portal—from development-and-testing to production environments. Built on Canonical’s distribution of Kubernetes and Rancher 2.0, the cloud native platform will simplify enterprise usage of Kubernetes with seamless user management, access control and cluster administration.

“Our partnership with Rancher provides end-to-end workflow automation for the enterprise development and operations team on Canonical’s distribution of Kubernetes,” said Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical. “Ubuntu has long been the platform of choice for developers driving innovation with containers. Canonical’s Kubernetes offerings include consulting, integration and fully-managed Kubernetes services onpremises and on-cloud,” Shuttleworth added.
