A survey of the world's leading information technology research and advisory firm Gartner shows that by 2022, 75 percent of businesses will create and process business data outside the data center and the cloud. Whether a company is to provide through 5G to millions of mobile users rich content, or run low-power, wind power remote network device, or provide software updates to the retail store with thousands of branches, or is it a lot of management high security cameras have a face or object recognition, the edges of the scene will drive massive growth Kubernetes cluster deployment.

RKE supports zero downtime upgrades cluster: As more and more organizations use Kubernetes run in a production environment carrying business-critical enterprise applications, they maintain an uninterrupted manner using its Kubernetes infrastructure has increasingly intense appeal. Rancher 2.4 supports zero downtime upgrades cluster, which allows organizations to upgrade and Kubernetes cluster nodes without disrupting applications. In addition, users can select and configure its add-ons and upgrade strategy to enable DNS and Ingress is not affected by service disruptions;
-
CIS benchmarks through enhanced security scanning: cluster security is crucial to the success of Kubernetes strategy. However, the latest research AimPoint shows that 44% of the company precisely because of security concerns Kubernetes container, the container will only postpone the application program for a production environment. In order to help enterprises solve this problem, Rancher 2.4 creatively introduces the CIS security scanning, users can more than 100 CIS Security Center for Internet Security benchmarks released, the actual definition of Kubernetes security cluster, a cluster of RKE point to point (ac-hoc ) security scan. Users can create custom test configuration, set the scan completion / scanning failed notification alerts and take corrective action based on that information, to ensure that the cluster meets all safety requirements.
