Rancher Desktop 1.0 Released

SUSE has released Rancher Desktop 1.0, an open source app for desktop Kubernetes and container management on Mac, Windows, and Linux. 

According to the announcement from Matt Farina, “At SUSE, we want to make the experience of working with Kubernetes on your desktop easier and simpler. Those who develop applications or package them up to run in Kubernetes need an easy-to-use local environment.”

“Rancher Desktop runs Kubernetes and container management on your desktop. You can choose the version of Kubernetes you want to run. You can build, push, pull, and run container images using either containerd or Moby (dockerd). The container images you build can be run by Kubernetes immediately without the need for a registry,” the Rancher website states.
