Kubernetes is becoming the power grid for modern infrastructure

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]We kind of expect Kubernetes, the API, to be everywhere. It's like fundamental infrastructure. It's like electricity.

[00:00:06]It's like the electric sockets. And so, we're seeing use cases like particularly with MSPs and data center providers.

[00:00:14]We're seeing the use particularly with our new product launch of SUSE Industrial Edge where you're looking at the data center as a target for an industrial play. Think of it as the ultimate smart building. Okay.

[00:00:26]>> So, now the operators of that data center can now see what's going on in terms of power consumption, cooling status, uh presence of humans in the place, and security. So, you have this operational awareness thing going on, and all of that is running on a cloud native runtime at the at the data center, which is pretty cool. So, it's like infrastructure for the data center.

[00:00:45]Yeah. And then you have customers coming in, enterprise customers that are running Rancher inside the data center.

[00:00:50]So, we're at various layers of the cake across the board, which is really cool.

[00:00:53]>> just for applications or for customers, it's also to run your infrastructure.

[00:00:57]Correct.

[00:00:58]>> Manage it. Correct.
