AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This program lets you buy SUSE software as separate contract subscriptions, each billed per unit. You choose only the products you need, and they are priced independently rather than as bundled tiers. Options include SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and its SAP-focused edition for general and SAP workloads. Other choices cover keeping and supporting non-SUSE Linux systems, running a lightweight container and edge host, and managing multiple Linux systems from one place. You can also add Kubernetes cluster management and a container security product. Add subscriptions independently and scale each by the number of units you run.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one unit for billing across these subscriptions?
A unit maps to what each product measures. For Kubernetes cluster management, one unit is one vCPU. For Linux server and support subscriptions, one unit is one operating system instance you run. You add units as you deploy more systems, and each subscription counts its own units independently.
How do costs behave if I run several of these products together?
Each subscription bills separately by its own unit count. Charges do not combine into a single tier. You pay per unit for each product you subscribe to, and the totals add together on your invoice. Adding one product does not change the per-unit price of another.
Can I keep and support non-SUSE Linux systems without migrating them?
Yes. The Multi-Linux Support subscription covers non-SUSE enterprise Linux distributions in place, with no migration required. You keep your existing operating system and receive security patches and support from SUSE. It is billed per unit, so you scale by the number of systems you cover.

Efficient Multi-Cluster Management with SUSE Rancher
Reviewed on Mar 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like SUSE Rancher's multi-cluster management because it helps me manage Kubernetes clusters at scale. I also appreciate the built-in RBAC and user management that provide a centralized view. The initial setup was easy as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that SUSE Rancher struggles with performance in large environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use SUSE Rancher for managing Kubernetes clusters at scale, which makes managing many clusters and switching contexts easier. It provides a centralized view with built-in RBAC and user management, enhancing my multi-cluster management capabilities.

Powerful Multi-Cluster Control, but Setup and Advanced Features Take Time to Master
Reviewed on Mar 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about SUSE Rancher is its centralized multi-cluster management. It allows teams to manage, monitor, and secure multiple Kubernetes clusters from a single interface, which greatly simplifies operations. The intuitive UI and strong RBAC features also make it easier for DevOps teams to control access and maintain governance across environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside of SUSE Rancher is that the initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for teams that are new to Kubernetes. Some advanced features also require a deeper understanding of Kubernetes concepts, which can create a learning curve for smaller teams.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SUSE Rancher helps solve the complexity of managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across different environments. It provides a centralized platform to provision, monitor, and control clusters, which reduces operational overhead and improves visibility. This makes it easier to enforce security policies, manage access, and streamline cluster operations for DevOps teams.

Rancher’s Unified Multi-Cluster Management Makes Kubernetes Easy
Reviewed on Mar 07, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Rancher's best feature is its unified multi-cluster management. it lets you manage multiple Kubernetes clusters across any infrastructure (cloud, on-prem, edge) from a single, easy-to-use UI, which drastically simplifies what is otherwise very complex orchestration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rancher's biggest downside is its complexity at scale. the setup and maintenance overhead can be significant, and when things go wrong, troubleshooting is often difficult due to the many moving parts. It can also feel resource-heavy for smaller deployments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problem it solves: Managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across different environments is chaotic without it. Benefit: Rancher gives you one place to deploy, manage, and monitor all your clusters saving time, reducing errors, and making Kubernetes accessible to teams who aren't deep experts.

User-Friendly Interface, but Setup Could Be Smoother
Reviewed on Jan 12, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
We used Rancher as part of a small POC to see how our microservices would behave in a Kubernetes setup. What stood out right away was how easy it was to move around the interface. Even for someone who isn’t deep into Kubernetes every day, it was straightforward to check what’s running, look at logs, and understand what’s healthy or not.
During the POC, we deployed a few basic services, including our Managed Microservices module and some integration‑related components. Rancher made it simple to see everything in one place instead of jumping between different tools or terminals.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some parts of the setup took a bit of figuring out, especially when we tried running Rancher on a local machine just to test things out. A couple of settings, like the built‑in cluster name, are locked down, so you can’t rename them the way you might want for a clean demo. It wasn’t a big issue, but it did slow us down at the start while we worked around it.
It should be a clean slate rather than fixing things up. When setting up initially or POC, I expected it to be guiding us rather than working on the stuff that's fixed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During our initial testing for some of ours microservices, Rancher made it much easier to understand how our microservices would behave once they were running inside Kubernetes. Instead of jumping between different commands or tools, everything we needed was right in front of us — from pod status to logs and basic resource details. Having that visual view helped us test things faster and gave us a better sense of what day‑to‑day operations would look like if we moved these services into a real Kubernetes environment.
