Talk Two: Brains and Clusters: Rancher AI Assistant + Virtual Clusters in Action

Managing a sprawling Kubernetes fleet often feels like a choice between high overhead or restricted developer autonomy. But what if you could scale your infrastructure without the weight of "real" clusters, guided by an AI that understands your environment?

In this session, we dive into the SUSE Rancher Virtual Clusters and the Rancher AI Assistant. We will explore how virtual clusters provide instant, isolated, and cost-effective environments for teams, and how the AI Assistant acts as a force multiplier—helping operators troubleshoot, configure, and manage these clusters using natural language. Join us to see a live demonstration of how to deploy "brains" into your "clusters" to achieve ultimate operational agility.
