Flexibility and agility are essential in the development world, which is why open source is so important. SUSE, a global provider of secure open-source technologies, highlighted this at their annual conference, SUSECON 2023. SUSE aims to address organizational challenges by offering highly configurable solutions that don’t lock customers into a specific system.

Customers appreciate SUSE’s solutions because they find them adaptable and not restrictive, even in an open source environment. However, some organizations may find this complexity challenging, especially if they already struggle with IT skill gaps and resource issues.

To support IT infrastructure security and digital trust, SUSE announced advancements to SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) and security-focused updates to Rancher. These advancements enable customers to benefit from a cloud-native world while addressing complexity. SUSE also introduced a cloud-native developer experience to ease application development and provide desktop container management.

SUSE enables the future of vehicles by connecting them to the cloud and offers high-performance computing pre-packaged products. Additionally, SUSE provides management solutions for all Linux systems and has optimized SAP solutions to monitor configurations and automate deployments.
