Continental Innovates with Rancher and Kubernetes
Kubernetes applications are increasingly making their way to the edge and embedded computing. Storage will quickly follow as the applications that rely on this edge infrastructure become more advanced and naturally carry more state. Longhorn is a cloud native persistent storage technology that has been quickly evolving as stateful applications in Kubernetes increase. An enhancement in its latest version 1.1 is quite applicable to this topic: native ARM64 support.
Amazon has announced Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D), a Kubernetes distribution based on and used by Amazon EKS. As an Amazon EKS Distro launch partner, Rancher Labs has added experimental support in Rancher’s RKE2 Kubernetes distribution to allow users to leverage 3rd party Kubernetes components.

Support for relational databases is a growing focus for Kubernetes users, and the release of Windows Server 2019 is expanding options for .NET applications and SQL Server. SQL Server workloads, however, often rely on Active Directory and Windows Auth, and storage arrays, which will not be supported by SQL Server containers on Windows Server 2019. Fortunately, a new Rancher Labs partner, Windocks, offers new options for SQL Server on Kubernetes and Rancher.

In this tutorial, we walk through using Rancher to deploy a Redis cluster within Kubernetes. After following the steps in this article, you will have a fully functional installation of Redis, and you will have tested the cluster's availability under failure conditions.
Today we announced releases v2.1.6 and v2.0.11 to address two security vulnerabilities recently discovered in Rancher. The first vulnerability allows users in the Default project of a cluster to escalate privileges to that of a cluster admin through a service account. The second vulnerability allows members to have continued access to create, update, read, and delete namespaces in a project after they have been removed from it. You can view the official CVEs here CVE-2018-20321 and here CVE-2019-6287.
