After tremendous work by our team, I am pleased to announce the launch of Rancher Academy. Rancher Academy is our online educational platform that provides free, community training on Kubernetes and Rancher. Available on-demand, these training courses are led by our team of expert technical evangelists and will instill confidence in Kubernetes and Rancher users as they learn from the very best in the industry.
Today I am delighted to launch the latest update to the SUSE Collective: a dedicated Rancher Prime Knowledgebase. All current and future Rancher Prime customers will receive an invitation to sign up for the free program, where they can access the exclusive content and engage with all the elements of the Collective. “SUSE Collective has become the go-to place for our customers to learn more about SUSE, share their feedback and earn rewards for their ongoing loyalty.
The Rancher by SUSE team wants to accelerate the pace of development and open Rancher to partners, customers, developers and users, enabling them to build on top of it to extend its functionality and further integrate it into their environments.

You develop, build and release it whenever you like.
