Why?
Unify hardware virtualization and Kubernetes management in a single, secure interface.
Cloud-Native Virtualization
The industry is moving towards containerization. KubeVirt allows you to run virtual machines within Kubernetes clusters, bridging the gap between traditional and modern infrastructure.
Unified Management
Reduce operational complexity by using the same tools and workflows for both containers and virtual machines.
Zero-Trust Security
Zero-Trust with Rancher Prime, NeuVector and Kubewarden protects your Harvester HCI, Kubernetes clusters and multi-cloud workloads through continuous verification.

Community Edition for Non-Production
For non-production environments such as development, testing or staging, we offer a Community Edition for almost all parts of our software stack.
With the Community Edition, all our managed services remain the same. We take care of the operation, monitoring and lifecycle management of your clusters.
The key difference is the lack of a manufacturer support contract (e.g. from SUSE) in the background. While we still provide our full operational expertise, there is no direct manufacturer backup for technical issues.
Advantages
- Significant cost savings by avoiding licensing fees.
- Identical technology stack to production for seamless testing.
- Full tamac managed services included.
Disadvantages
- No official manufacturer support (SLA-backed).
- No access to FIPS-certified or hardened enterprise contents.
- Strictly recommended for non-production environments only.
- No possible operational responsibility from our side without manufacturer support.
