KubeDB for SUSE Rancher
Joint Solution Brief

Key Benefits

• Unified DBaaS Across Any Kubernetes: KubeDB with SUSE Rancher Prime delivers a consistent DBaaS experience across on-prem, cloud, and edge environments. Databases can be deployed and moved across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures without re-architecting, eliminating reliance on hyperscaler-managed DBaaS.
• Automated Database Lifecycle Management: Database operations are fully automated using Kubernetes APIs, including provisioning, scaling, upgrades, and high availability. This reduces manual effort, simplifies operations, and ensures consistent management across environments.
• Built-In Backup, Recovery, and Resilience: Integrated backup and recovery provide application-consistent data protection for stateful workloads. This simplifies operations while enabling reliable restores and supporting disaster recovery across clusters.
• Governance, Security, and Multi-Tenancy: Policy-driven access control, RBAC, and namespace-based multi-tenancy enable secure self-service database access. Organizations can enforce governance and compliance while maintaining developer agility.
• Data Sovereignty and Infrastructure Control: Databases can be deployed on-prem, in-region, or in air-gapped environments with full control over data placement. This ensures compliance and avoids the limitations of managed DBaaS services.
