An Introduction to Rancher Desktop

If your organization is deep into a Cloud-Native transformation, or you are just beginning to explore the world of Container development, you need to know about Rancher Desktop. Rancher Desktop is a Kubernetes development environment for your desktop that is 100% free and completely open source. If your development team is concerned about "new" licensing requirements of a popular Kubernetes desktop software that is NOT open source, then you need to take a closer look at Rancher Desktop, a FOSS project backed by SUSE. Rancher Desktop runs on Linux, Windows and Mac. Developers can easily change container runtimes and Kubernetes versions to match deployment targets. We will take a look at how Rancher Desktop can empower your digital transformation journey. Demo included!
