There’s also harvester on top of rancher. It’s one of the very few open source competitors to RedHats OpenShift that I’m aware of.

I mostly like their use of an immutable OS as base layer for the virtualization - despite the limitations it sometimes has.

Harvester is just Kubevirt with some UI atop it, the same as Redhat Virt. Works fine if you’re hosting datacenters or whatever, haven’t seen it be suitable in smaller manufacturing environment
It fundamentally is rke2+rancher+kubevirt, but there’s a lot of packaging around it to make that work.
True, I am underselling it.

I liked it when I used it, but it wasn’t really a fit for our environment from what i’ve seen.
