Rancher at the End of the Road: What’s Next for Kubernetes? - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

SUSE Rancher RKE1 has officially reached end of life. There’s no in-place upgrade path. No clear continuity. Just a complex replatforming mandate and rising security risk. For platform teams running SAP, managing edge environments, or operating in airgapped conditions, RKE3 often introduces more problems than it solves, poor disconnected support, insecure cert handling, and chaotic upgrades that strain teams and systems. This live roundtable brings together Kubernetes, edge, and airgap experts to unpack what RKE1 EOL really means for your infrastructure. We’ll break down the migration risks, highlight critical vulnerabilities, and show how Mirantis Kubernetes Engine 4k (MKE4k) offers a secure, composable, and Zero-Touch alternative for regulated and edge-heavy environments. What you'll learn: • Why RKE1’s EOL presents major risk to regulated industries and edge deployments • The hidden operational and security costs of moving to RKE3 • How MKE4k simplifies replatforming with airgap-ready automation and Zero Trust architecture What platform teams need to future-proof Kubernetes strategy across edge, cloud, and airgapped infrastructure If you’re a Platform Engineer, Architect, or IT leader evaluating life after Rancher, this session is your roadmap forward.
