Will 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…

Awesome!

And yeah I've found a few resources of people who've managed it. Last time I tried to compile it, it got stuck on some x86-specific dependencies in the base images you guys were using I think. A year later and I'm finally starting to look at it again. Official support would be fantastic if possible; I would very happily start using it on hundreds of devices in the near future :D

Side note: What is the fascination with skinny font weights (100 in this case) for the entire body text? It's incredibly hard to read. Here's a screenshot of the page with the first 2 paragraphs in a normal style: https://i.imgur.com/bdU8Mex.png

Thanks for the feedback

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).

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.

I'm looking in to this.

@nickstinemates Is there any ETA for the release of 2.0? We'er running 1.x now and were seriously looking at dropping it for a straight Kubernetes cluster, but if 2.0 will be ready soon enough...

No hard date we can publicly commit to, yet. Would be happy to chat about your timeline and requirements and get a recommendation from the team. Let me know if interested.
