In this episode of The New Stack Makers, Pete Smails outlines how SUSE is evolving from its Linux roots into an AI-native infrastructure platform. Speaking at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026, Smails explains the company’s strategy to unify AI, containers and virtual machines on a single open, enterprise-ready foundation. Central to this is SUSE Rancher Prime, which enables consistent orchestration across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, alongside SUSE Virtualization for modernizing legacy systems.
