The adoption of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) systems is expected to grow by double-digits over the next five years. But while many organizations have identified open-source software as an innovation driver and are adopting cloud-native technologies for application delivery, the HCI solutions available to them today are proprietary and often pre-date the cloud-native era.
In this session you will learn about Harvester, a new hyper-converged infrastructure solution built entirely on top of Kubernetes and other open-source technologies, including KubeVirt and Longhorn. The talk will introduce you to the Harvester software architecture, its core features, and the installation process. Finally, you will learn how integrating Harvester with Rancher provides users with a universal control plane for the deployment and management of both virtualized and containerized workloads.
