SUSE Harvester is a great virtualization platform

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SUSE Harvester to provision virtual machines, which later form SUSE Rancher managed Kubernetes clusters. We chose Harvester because it's +) Stable and production ready; +) Open source; +) Backed up by a strong community and stable and cloud solutions-oriented company - it won't disappear in one day; +) Easy to use.

Pros

  • Fast to deploy new virtual machines
  • It's easy to use
  • Stable and ready for production
  • Free and open source
  • Has a strong community

Cons

  • It takes expertise to set up SUSE Harvester for production
  • You need to get used to SUSE Harvester to be as "fluent" as in VMWare ESXi
  • You need to well prepare for system upgrades

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great for provisioning any kind of virtual servers, but for now, we use it to provision only servers for Rancher managed Kubernetes clusters. But we are considering to provision also virtual servers for all kinds of needs on SUSE Harvester in the near future, as it's getting more and more mature with every release.
