Introduction to Rancher Desktop

Track: Cloud Technology

Abstract

Let's explore Rancher Desktop, a full Kubernetes development environment for your Desktop that is 100% free and completely Open Source. If your development team is concerned about “new” licensing requirements of a popular Kubernetes Desktop software that is NOT Open Source, then you need to take a closer look at Rancher Desktop, a FOSS project backed by SUSE. Rancher Desktop runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac. Developers can easily change container runtimes and Kubernetes versions to match deployment targets. https://rancherdesktop.io/
