#12How much? I can't find acquisition price anywhere.
The price was never disclosed publicly, but some news websites quoted between $600-$700 million (https://www.itpro.co.uk/development/open-source/356382/sure-....)

#13Sadly as usual it leads to "synergy" and therefore layoffs.. I think every move in this direction at SUSE led to layoffs in the past and I hope that's not the case now, specially in the middle of a Pandemic.

#15I have grown to dislike Rancher more and more. Their marketing statements vary from "could be" to outright lies. I hope their "marketing" department will get some of the SUSE culture (and lawyers that will keep them in check).

Any examples of what their products cannot do as effectively as their marketing department say. Just curious :)

I gave it a brief try a few times along with CoreOS for setting up dedicated container hosts. Only got a few hours in before I decided it was going to be a lot less hassle to just go with a normal Ubuntu Server install with Docker sitting on top of it.

Yeah, as someone who's considered using them I would very much appreciate any information about practical shortfalls

If you can get away with just Docker, don't use Kubernetes.
