The whole kit and kaboodle was revealed at KubeCon North America, and it is part of SUSE’s efforts to make its product names more descriptive and customer-friendly, although we can’t quite see it—for example, Rancher, SUSE's Kubernetes offering, which is now known as SUSE Rancher. Liberty Linux, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)/CentOS clone and support offering, has been renamed SUSE Multi Linux Support. Harvester has been rebranded as SUSE Virtualization, and Longhorn is now SUSE Storage.

In addition to these changes, SUSE has launched SUSE AI, which is a venture into artificial intelligence.

 Unlike other offerings, such as Red Hat's Lightspeed AI tool, SUSE AI is a secure platform for deploying and running generative AI applications. SUSE A addresses critical challenges enterprises face transitioning from AI experimentation to deployment, particularly in security and compliance.

According to the company, SUSE AI provides security and certifications at the software infrastructure level, along with zero-trust security tools, templates, and compliance playbooks.

The platform ensures that generated data is correct and that private customer and IP data remain secure. It supports deployment across various environments, including on-premise, hybrid, cloud, and air-gapped setups.

SUSE AI allows customers to select and deploy their preferred AI components and large language models (LLMs). The platform provides simplified cluster operations, persistent storage, and easy access to pre-configured shared tools and services.
