Harvester (HCI)

Harvester is a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) free software (Apache license) software, that is intended for use on common servers in e.g. a private cloud (e.g. in own datacenter). Harvester was announced in 2020 by SUSE.[1][2][3]

Harvester uses the following software: openSUSE (OS), KubeVirt (for virtualisation control), Kubernetes (container system), Longhorn (for storage control) og Multus CNI (network control).[4][2][3]. On 1 December 2020, SUSE acquired Rancher Labs[5] that makes related software (Rancher) that might be incorporated in Harvester.
