I think everyone and their dog is realizing that there isn't all that much money in the traditional OS business anymore, and are betting on cloud platforms of one kind or another.

Redhat invested quite a bit into openshift, IBM bought them (and mentioned Redhat's cloud strategy in the announcement as one of the major reasons).

Microsoft is doubling down on Azure, now SUSE wants a piece of the pie.

I'm not familiar enough with Rancher to tell you why those chose exactly them, but they had to do something.

I wish my dog was as smart as yours, he continues to pay for windos and runs IE since no one on the internet knows he's a dog
