Agreed, we've been trying out Rancher since its early days and we're currently in their beta program, we've really enjoyed using it - hits that sweet spot between power and simplicity. Biggest frustration is the lack of a CLI which is preventing us from being able to proceed to production as we don't want to manually handcrank API calls.
You'll actually be able to use Rancher to manage Kubernetes clusters[0] in the next few weeks, if you want the best of both worlds.

- stuff4ben 11y agoThis is awesome, never heard of Rancher before! I like the simplicity, but I'm curious why you'd want to stand up Kubernetes on top of Rancher though? What is the benefits to doing so versus running Rancher by itself?
- lukebennett 11y agoI'm equally curious to be honest :) It's not something we do ourselves, I just mentioned it given the context of this thread.
- stuff4ben 11y agoIn watching the video, it looks like it's a replacement for "cattle" which I guess is how nodes are scaled out. Interestingly they've made deployment of K8s extremely simple. I'm looking forward to playing with Rancher in some test environments.
