Starting today, my favourite conatiner orchestration Rancher now also supports Kubernetes across all host instances, thus creating a real elastic service environment on top of docker.
It’s realy great to see how kubernetes automatically scales across all available instances and re-spawns processes after upgrades or migrates services on reboots of host instances.
The kuberetes app catalog isn’t working at the moment.
I’m so amazed. Discovered Rancher today, a fully GUI enabled containerized platform to orchestrate other docker instances within docker masters on different hosts.
Although the GUI needs more work, the generel idea of having a docker based orchestration frontend, which by the way can be updated/replaced on the fly without disrupting
the other containers services.
Other worker docker nodes can be easily attached to the master orchestrator, as well as almost any known cloud technology/distributor private/non-private/public.
Definitely worth a look:
