Switch to Simplified Governance and Drift Detection/Remediation at Scale
With Rancher, customers need to manage policies for each cluster, leading to fleet-wide inconsistencies.
Reduce operational overhead and business risk ensuring your fleet of clusters is consistent and standardized through blueprints. Streamline provisioning and management by centralizing security policy and software add-on configurations via Git.
Switch to Centralized Auditing of Administrative and Kube API Activity across Your Fleet
With Rancher, customers end up implementing bespoke solutions and custom code for auditing.
Chronologically catalog activities with a centralized, immutable audit trail of all user actions including kubectl operations performed on clusters. Simplify documentation and history used to authenticate security and operational actions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rafay’s SaaS solution is built with cloud infrastructure in mind which means that updates and maintenance are safer and easier to provide, time-to-market is shorter, TCO is lower, and governance and security of clusters and workflows are defined in the core application and easily applied across your entire fleet of Kubernetes clusters.
As stated in our recent announcement, we are open sourcing a few of our core services, starting with Zero Trust and GitOps. The cloud-native open-source community will soon be able to take advantage of, and contribute to, these battle-tested services that significantly reduce the complexity of securing access across Kubernetes clusters and automating deployments for modern applications.
Each Rancher server will manage a set of resources, such as nodes, control plane components, and monitoring and logging. If you have several controllers, you have to manage available resources on each of your environments for these functions. This will create an inefficient resource usage and result in higher costs. Additionally, management of authentication, authorization, and upgrades will have to be performed per controller/cluster set that creates complexity and can allow for human error, vulnerabilities, and potential incompatibilities.
