The Rancher 2.0 tech preview is now available (http://rancher.com/rancher2-0/), so for our October online meetup we introduced the new release and demonstrated some of the new features. Some of the topics we discussed: - How we've re-engineered Rancher on Kubernetes - New support for importing existing Kubernetes clusters - Major overhaul to the Rancher user interface - New approach for application catalog - Roadmap and plan for 2.0 releases

Rancher users are adopting Kubernetes quickly
Frequent Requests:
• Manage multiple Kubernetes clusters including clusters not
created by Rancher
• Improve developer experience on Kubernetes
• Compose catalog is great, but support Helm as well
• Centralize logging and monitoring
• Management plane can’t introduce a new point of failure
