Managed Single Pane of Glass with Rancher Prime
With Rancher Prime, you get a central platform to manage Harvester HCI, Kubernetes clusters and multi-cloud workloads easily and securely – fully managed by us.
Simplified HCI Management with Harvester
Harvester as cloud-native Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) runs directly on Kubernetes and uses KubeVirt for VM management. Via Rancher Prime, you control bare-metal servers, VMs, Longhorn storage and networks centrally from one dashboard. You benefit from automated provisioning, scaling and upgrades, without your own infra teams for hardware management.
All Kubernetes Clusters from One Interface
Whether on-premises, edge or public cloud – Rancher Prime shows all your Kubernetes clusters in a unified view. With integrated tools for monitoring (Prometheus/Grafana), logging and policy management, you keep an overview without switching between different consoles. GitOps via Fleet distributes your applications automatically across clusters.
Flexible Multi-Cloud Management
Manage workloads in AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE or private clouds in parallel. Rancher Prime abstracts cloud-specific APIs, enables easy migrations and shows resource consumption across all providers. Burst capacities from on-prem to public clouds are possible without app changes.
Integrated Security and Compliance
Automated vulnerability scans (Trivy), network policies and CIS benchmark validation protect VMs and containers. You receive audit logs, MFA and central RBAC roles directly in the dashboard. For regulated industries, FIPS-compliant images are available – all without additional security tools.
Complete Lifecycle Automation
From provisioning to disaster recovery: Rancher Prime handles cluster upgrades, auto-healing, backups (Velero) and rolling updates automatically. Harvester clusters with Longhorn storage are provisioned and scaled at the click of a mouse. You concentrate on applications, we take care of the infrastructure.
Multi-Tenancy for Teams
Dedicated views and namespace isolation allow different teams secure access only to their resources – VMs, storage or Kubernetes clusters. Central policies and RBAC ensure compliance, while self-service provisioning saves time.
Comprehensive Observability
Unified metrics, dashboards and alerts cover Harvester hardware, VMs, pods and multi-cloud resources. You see performance, costs and health status immediately and can solve problems faster. Integrated troubleshooting tools replace multiple monitoring systems.
Your Advantage: Managed Single Pane of Glass
All features of Rancher Prime are available to you, while we fully operate and maintain the platform. You get unified management for Harvester HCI, Kubernetes and multi-cloud from one interface – maximum control with minimal operational effort.
