**🗒 Overview:**
SUSE Rancher RKE1 has officially reached end of life. There’s no in-place upgrade path. No clear continuity. Just a complex replatforming mandate and rising security risk. For platform teams running SAP, managing edge environments, or operating in airgapped conditions, RKE3 often introduces more problems than it solves, poor disconnected support, insecure cert handling, and chaotic upgrades that strain teams and systems.

This live roundtable brings together Kubernetes, edge, and airgap experts to unpack what RKE1 EOL really means for your infrastructure. We’ll break down the migration risks, highlight critical vulnerabilities, and show how Mirantis Kubernetes Engine 4k (MKE4k) offers a secure, composable, and Zero-Touch alternative for regulated and edge-heavy environments.

What you'll learn:

* Why RKE1’s EOL presents major risk to regulated industries and edge deployments
* The hidden operational and security costs of moving to RKE3
* How MKE4k simplifies replatforming with airgap-ready automation and Zero Trust architecture
* What platform teams need to future-proof Kubernetes strategy across edge, cloud, and airgapped infrastructure

If you’re a Platform Engineer, Architect, or IT leader evaluating life after Rancher, this session is your roadmap forward.

Online event

Join us in person at one of California’s most dynamic tech events as we introduce k0rdent—our latest open source project purpose-built for platform engineers. As a Platinum sponsor, Mirantis is bringing the energy with a punchy keynote, a deep dive into edge AI infrastructure, and a hands-on workshop where you’ll deploy and manage real Kubernetes clusters using k0rdent.

Whether you're orchestrating multi-cluster environments, building internal platforms, or scaling AI at the edge, k0rdent simplifies the complex and helps your team move faster with less friction.

Stop by our table to meet the minds behind k0rdent, see it in action, and ask your toughest questions. While you’re there, grab some exclusive swag—yes, that includes our fan-favorite Mirantis tees—and enter to win a limited-edition open source skateboard deck.

You’ll walk away with fresh insights, practical skills, and new ways to take your platform engineering strategy to the next level.

See you in San Francisco! 🇺🇸
