SUSE, an owner of the Rancher container management platform, announced the release of Longhorn 1.1. Longhorn is being developed as a sandbox project under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The latest version (Longhorn 1.1) enables Rancher users to take maximum advantage of a Kubernetes-native storage solution in low-powered hardware at the edge.
Longhorn 1.1 enables DevOps teams to effortlessly handle and manage persistent data volumes in any Kubernetes environment at the same time brings an enterprise-grade yet the vendor-neutral approach to cloud-native storage.
Gartner, global research and advisory company forecasts that within the year 2025, three-quarters of enterprise-generated data will be produced and processed at the edge – outside a conventional centralized data center or cloud. Keeping that in mind, Longhorn 1.1 enables developers to positively develop applications and save or store the data in edge environments on resource-constrained devices.
