Tigera's CNAPP Platform, Calico, Now Available on SUSE Rancher Kubernetes Engine 2 (RKE2)Calico supports the newest version of RKE2 to provide users with highly scalable, high-performance and resource-efficient networking and security for Kubernetes and containers. SAN FRANCISCO, May 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tigera, which provides the industry's only active Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) with full-stack observability for containers, Kubernetes, and cloud, today announced support for SUSE Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) 2, the next generation of RKE for Government and Data Center use cases. RKE2 is a Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) enabled alternative to RKE for government and other compliance-driven deployments. With this new support, SUSE Rancher users can now install Tigera's CNAPP, Calico, to enable build, deploy, and runtime security for Kubernetes and containers on RKE2. Specifically, Calico provides comprehensive zero-trust workload protection and full-stack observability and troubleshooting functionalities for workloads running on RKE2. With Calico, RKE2 users can now protect their applications against runtime threats and vulnerabilities and proactively mitigate these threats. "Using Calico's active, zero-trust based security for cloud-native applications running on RKE2, SUSE Rancher users can now focus on threat prevention using zero-trust controls," said Amit Gupta, Chief Product Officer, Tigera. "For example, Calico enables users to implement granular, zero-trust workload access tools, such as DNS policies and NetworkSets, to manage access controls for the data flowing between workloads and external resources." RKE versus RKE2 The newer version of Rancher Kubernetes Engine, RKE2 is beneficial for users who are looking to harden and secure their Kubernetes clusters to be compliant with various requirements such as FIPS. This new support for Calico, to be used as a networking and security solution for RKE2 deployments, gives SUSE Rancher customers unparalleled visibility and zero-trust workload access for these deployments. David Landry, director of Solutions Partners & Alliances at SUSE, said, "SUSE and Tigera have been collaborating on Calico Open Source, which is provided out of the box by Rancher as a CNI option in RKE and RKE2 clusters. We are pleased Tigera now offers Calico Enterprise support for RKE2 with advanced zero-trust capabilities to meet the stringent requirements of government and highly regulated, compliance-driven deployments."
