It was long known since they did not ship any new update since August 2016. We at Turing Analytics migrated to Rancher labs about 6 months ago. They should have announced it earlier and should have given more time to paying customers. I am glad I migrated very early.

Is there a hosted rancher service? I played around with it a long while ago and really liked it, but felt like more moving parts (and particularly on MySQL, which wasn't in our stack) wasn't something I was too keen on. Having someone manage this for us could be worth paying for though.

  Rancher, the container orchestration, is pretty much dead too, since it's K8s-based from (upcoming) 2.0 on, i.e. it's becoming a K8s distribution and has to compete with K8s itself, OpenShift and probably upcoming open-sourced edition of Tectonic. RancherOS might live on, even though there is a lot of doubt on why it should do so.

    I think you mean "cattle", the container orchestration system in Rancher 1.x Rancher (and Rancher OS) seem to be doing fine and getting updates constantly. We're eyeing Rancher 2.x and the Kubernetes integration but it gives me confidence seeing Rancher 1.x getting updated while they are so focused in 2.x and K8s.

    Rancher is far from dead. They are essentially making a nice frontend for k8s. All we care about is ease of deployment and management of containers. If that is being achieved by k8s, we don't have problem. And yes, they are managing 1.x version nicely with timely updates. Plus it's a self hosted version so no such fear of it disappearing within 2 months. :)

  It does not have hosted service. What we did was to dedicate one VM to its management server and that worked out amazingly well. Everything is inside it and does not disturb other systems.

I played around with rancher in my VM and with three servers. And it always lost its ip sec connections and only a reboot helped. I liked it though...
