Rancher is a Kubernetes management platform originally created by Rancher Labs and now maintained by SUSE. It is designed to simplify the deployment, operation, and security of Kubernetes clusters at scale, whether they run on public cloud, private cloud, on-premises data centers, or at the edge.

At its core, Rancher provides a centralized control plane that allows teams to create, import, and manage multiple Kubernetes clusters from a single UI and API. It supports a wide range of Kubernetes distributions, including upstream Kubernetes, RKE / RKE2, K3s, and managed cloud services like EKS, GKE, and AKS.

Rancher focuses heavily on enterprise needs such as multi-cluster management, role-based access control (RBAC), authentication integration (LDAP, Active Directory, OIDC), policy enforcement, and cluster lifecycle management. It enables platform teams to enforce consistent configurations and security policies while allowing application teams to self-serve Kubernetes resources safely.

The platform also integrates tightly with the broader cloud-native ecosystem. Rancher provides built-in support for Helm, monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana), logging, and GitOps workflows, and works well alongside tools like Argo CD, Fleet, and Longhorn for storage.

Rancher is often used as the foundation for platform engineering initiatives, helping organizations standardize Kubernetes operations, reduce operational complexity, and safely scale containerized workloads across environments.
