#2Anyone had experience running a cross vendor cloud setup with Rancher? How was the experience and were you able to reduce operating costs?

#3It's awesome that they're completely based on Kubernetes now -- super ready to switch over and start using it.

#4What happens to Cattle now? I have 1.6 Rancher running with Cattle. Do I have to create a completely new installation and port everything?
Re: Rancher 2.0 container management platform
#5Will the new system still be able to schedule containers through the GUI with the same options as currently available on Cattle? I like Kubernetes but I much prefer having an easy way to change configuration via a GUI. Frankly I've found the existing Cattle scheduler far more pleasant to manage than Kubernetes, which feels like it requires a lot more time to manage effectively.
Also the one feature I'd really love to see from Rancher is ARM support for the agent. Not fussed about running the server on ARM but it'd be immensely useful for me if the agent could be.
EDIT: And is there a timeline for when a final version of 2.0 is expected? We're currently building our new deployment stack, and if 1.0 will be fazed out by the end of the year I'd rather start afresh now than later :)

#6I dug around a bit, but didn't see anything definitive.
Does anybody know if Rancher 1.X or 2.0 support GPU instances? That's a must have feature for us.
Thanks!

Yes!

I've seen this running. I can look in to it.

Does docker need anything special for GPU instances? As far as I know, rancher 1.X simply interacts with the docker agent running on whatever hardware you provide (cloud or otherwise).

I had no problem running a cross-cloud cluster with rancher 1.x. You simply have to make sure the IPSec ports are open between hosts for the overlay network.

We use a variant of Docker https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker
Kubernetes version 1.7 (I believe) introduced native GPU support, in beta.
So there are some 'special' things that need to be done...though the gap seems to be getting more narrow.
