Rancher and Arm Collaborate to Deliver a Kubernetes-based Platform for IoT, Edge and Data Center Computing Deployments

Rancher Labs, a provider of container management software, today announced their collaboration with Arm to meet the needs of Internet of Things (IoT) and edge computing deployments. As a result, Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) and RancherOS have been ported to Arm. Rancher Server is now enhanced to manage both x86 clusters running in the data center and Arm®-based clusters running on edge and data center nodes, providing the first solution that can manage Kubernetes clusters running on both Arm and x86. Rancher users will now have an end-to-end solution for running Kubernetes in the enterprise, no matter which architecture they choose to use. Additionally, Rancher and Arm will deliver the Kubernetes-based solution for Smart City projects in China.
