  • Custom UI for Machine Drivers [#4589] - In addition to being able to add your own Docker Machine drivers into Rancher, this feature will allow users to also add their own custom UI elements for the driver. Please see https://github.com/rancher/ui-driver-skel for more details.

    Important: Kubernetes environments created before v1.1.0 will need to be switched to a different orchestration, saved and switched back to Kubernetes to start supporting upgrades.

    • Important: Mesos will require 3 hosts in order for HA mode to work correctly.
  • Support for External Load Balancers (F5 initial release) [#4445] - Very similar to the External DNS Service provider currently in Rancher catalog, users will now be able to add external load balancers to Rancher where they will be automatically programmed as services and containers publish ports to hosts. The initial release supports F5 as the external load balancer.
  • Experimental: Vault Integration - Vault has now been added to the Rancher catalog as an option for secrets management.
