An end-to-end platform combining enterprise Linux, virtualization and cloud management, and Kubernetes management.
MADRID, SPAIN, May 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — OpenNebula Systems today announced a joint solution with SUSE, bringing together virtualization management, cloud orchestration, enterprise Linux, and Kubernetes management into a single, integrated platform for sovereign cloud deployments, particularly suited to organizations with strict data residency and regulatory requirements.
The combined offering brings together OpenNebula’s cloud and virtualization platform with SUSE Linux Enterprise and SUSE Rancher to provide a secure, stable, and vendor-neutral alternative to proprietary stacks such as VMware and Nutanix.
As organizations seek greater control over their infrastructure while avoiding vendor lock-in, the OpenNebula and SUSE solution enables the deployment of private and hybrid cloud environments with full transparency and operational consistency.
The platform spans the full infrastructure stack—from the operating system and virtualization layer to Kubernetes management—allowing organizations to run virtual machines, Kubernetes, and edge workloads on a unified infrastructure, adopting Kubernetes where it makes sense without being locked into a single model.
Built on SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES), the solution provides a hardened, enterprise-grade operating system with long-term support, security certifications, and predictable lifecycle management across infrastructure services, virtual machines, and edge environments.
OpenNebula delivers the core cloud and virtualization layer, enabling secure multi-tenancy, resource governance, and automated lifecycle management for compute, storage, and networking, with end-to-end enterprise support available for the integrated solution.
When Kubernetes is required, OpenNebula integrates with SUSE Rancher and the validated RKE2 distribution to provide a fully supported Kubernetes experience. Kubernetes clusters are provisioned and operated using standardized, repeatable workflows, ensuring consistency across environments.
“At SUSE, we believe that ‘Choice Happens’ when we prioritize interoperability and open innovation. By combining SUSE Linux Enterprise and Rancher with OpenNebula, we are providing organizations with a truly sovereign cloud platform—one that eliminates vendor lock-in and delivers the mission-critical resilience needed to run VMs, Kubernetes, and edge workloads on their own terms,” said Diego Rios, General Manager EMEA South at SUSE.
“Our goal is to provide organizations with an open and sovereign cloud platform that combines stability, flexibility, and operational consistency,” said Alexander Sergunin, Partner Manager at OpenNebula Systems. “Together with SUSE, we deliver a solution that allows organizations to modernize their infrastructure while maintaining full control.”
