SUSE Edge is a purpose-built cloud native edge computing platform for managing the full lifecycle of edge devices at scale. We can meet our customers where they are in their cloud native journey and the platform can be easily customized to support edge use cases across multiple industries.

Cloud native stack optimized for Edge

SUSE Edge is a highly validated, lightweight edge platform that combines the best of open source technologies–Linux and Kubernetes–and enables customers to manage edge applications at scale.

Purpose built for Edge environments

Certified Kubernetes built for Edge and Industrial IoT. Designed for rugged far-edge environments with deterministic performance needs. Low footprint images and binaries ideal for resource constrained environments

Deploy and manage edge applications at scale

With “full lifecycle management”, manage the lifecycle at each layer: OS, Kubernetes and application. SUSE Edge uses Gitops approach to deploy and manage up to a million Kubernetes clusters with ease. 

Supports existing infrastructure and cloud native

Supports application VMs and container based applications on the same platform, enabling customers to migrate to cloud native at their own pace. Edge virtualization and Rancher UI integration offers integrated management from single pane of glass

Secure and reliable in distributed environments

SUSE Edge platform built on SUSE Linux Micro, an immutable OS that is FIPS compliant and CIS hardened. Edge optimized container security with SUSE Security detects and prevents threats and attacks.

SUSE Edge Features and Benefits

SUSE Edge platform provides customers the ability to manage 1000s of distributed edge devices, saving operating costs and improving efficiency of IT operations

Zero touch provisioning and LCM

Cluster provisioning to baremetal via ClusterAPI and Metal3. Rancher GUI for baremetal inventory management. Fully airgapped and connected support. Automated provisioning of SUSE Linux Micro & RKE2

Enterprise grade security at the Edge

OS support for Live Patching for a continuous secure operation and security framework (SELinux). TPM2 based disk encryption. Edge optimized container security with SUSE Security detects and prevents threats and attacks.

Highly validated and reliable Edge platform

Continuous nightly testing of Edge stack and public release of Edge Stack validation results. Multi-Rancher Visibility GUI to easily manage and observe highly distributed Edge environments

Support for high cluster and node scale

Supports high scale manufacturing and retail use cases–1000s of Kubernetes clusters distributed in 100s of edge locations, with visibility and management from Rancher, in central location
