Rancher Government Solutions and Oracle to Deliver Secure Edge-to-Cloud Capabilities for Federal Agencies

June 17th, 2025

Joint solution enables mission-critical workloads and secure Kubernetes operations at the tactical edge

Rancher Government Solutions (RGS), a leader in secure Kubernetes and container infrastructure for the U.S. Government and a member of Oracle PartnerNetwork, today announced that it will use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to deliver a fully integrated, edge-to-cloud computing solution tailored to address the mission requirements of federal agencies.

This collaboration will empower government entities with robust, secure, and highly performant solutions at the tactical edge and across distributed environments, leveraging OCI's advanced infrastructure and Oracle OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure products.

“Government customers face complex challenges, from securing sensitive data to deploying applications in austere environments,” said Ben Zifrony, Vice President of Ecosystems at Rancher Government Solutions. “Our government-grade Kubernetes running on OCI Roving Edge is a powerful solution for defense and intelligence agencies that need the most agile, secure, and advanced capabilities.”

Oracle's Roving Edge Infrastructure (REI) is a cloud-integrated service that extends Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) capabilities to remote and disconnected environments. It enables organizations to process, store, and analyze data at the edge—closer to where it's generated—enabling low-latency performance even without consistent internet connectivity.

“Oracle is committed to supporting the critical missions of government agencies with the most secure, performant, and distributed cloud solutions available,” said Pat Mungovan, Senior Vice President, Oracle Government, Defense and Intelligence. “Our partnership with Rancher Government Solutions, combined with the power of OCI’s edge computing and OCI Roving Edge capabilities, will provide these customers with the tools they need to innovate faster, secure their data more effectively, and operate wherever their missions take them.”

The joint solution includes:

• RGS Manager – A hardened Kubernetes management stack designed for high-compliance environments, enabling consistent operations across cloud and edge workloads with integrated lifecycle and policy management.
• RKE2 – A hardened Kubernetes distribution explicitly built for sensitive workloads, providing automated deployment, scaling, and self-healing capabilities, offering mission critical application resilience even in environments with intermittent connectivity or limited resources.
• OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure – A portable, ruggedized cloud platform that delivers OCI services and AI/ML capabilities in disconnected or intermittent connectivity environments.

• End-to-End Security and Compliance – Alignment with federal cybersecurity mandates, including STIG, FIPS 140-2/3, and Zero Trust frameworks, so that mission applications remain protected from development to deployment.

• AI/ML Optimization at the Edge – Built-in support for OCI Roving Edge capabilities enables fast, local data inference and processing without reliance on centralized cloud resources.
