WekaIO has announced that Weka File System (WekaFS), with its Kubernetes Container Storage Interface (CSI) plug-in, has completed interoperability testing with Rancher Labs’ Kubernetes management platform.

Together, the companies will offer enterprises an integrated, end-to-end tested solution for DataOps. With this certification, Rancher Labs (now a SUSE company) and Weka have joined each other’s Technology Alliance Partner Programs.

Rancher addresses the operational and security challenges of managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across any infrastructure while providing DataOps teams with integrated tools for running containerized workloads.

It is claimed to be the only product that enables enterprises to deliver Kubernetes-as-a-Service across any infrastructure.

Using the WekaFS Kubernetes CSI plugin, organizations now have increased flexibility in how and where they deploy containers while delivering local storage performance and latency.

Throughout the system, the WekaFS and Weka Client solutions deliver the speed-to-market required of a cloud-first solution.
