## What's New?
The previous version of Rancher, version 1.6, was a container management platform built on Docker. Rancher 2.x builds on the success and experience of Rancher 1.6.
Rancher was originally built to work with multiple orchestrators, and it included its own orchestrator called Cattle. With the rise of Kubernetes in the marketplace, Rancher now exclusively deploys and manages multiple Kubernetes clusters running anywhere, on any provider. It can provision Kubernetes from a hosted provider, provision compute nodes and then install Kubernetes onto them, or inherit existing Kubernetes clusters running anywhere.
However, for version 2.x, most of Rancher is redesigned to work on Kubernetes. Rancher 2.x retains the user-friendly features of version 1.6, such as the UI and catalog. However, 2.x now includes many new features such as:
One Rancher server installation can manage hundreds of Kubernetes clusters from the same interface.
- Built-in CI pipeline
- Alerts and log aggregation
- Multi-cluster management
- Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE)
- Integration with cloud Kubernetes services, such as GKE, EKS, and AKS.
Rancher adds significant value on top of Kubernetes, first by centralizing role-based access control (RBAC) for all of the clusters and giving global admins the ability to control cluster access from one location. It then enables detailed monitoring and alerting for clusters and their resources, ships logs to external providers, and integrates directly with Helm via the Application Catalog. If you have an external CI/CD system, you can plug it into Rancher, but if you don't, Rancher even includes a pipeline engine to help you automatically deploy and upgrade workloads.
Rancher is a _complete_ container management platform for Kubernetes, giving you the tools to successfully run Kubernetes anywhere.
