I started at Rancher in<br \/>\nearly December, and since then I\u2019ve been thrilled to see how many people<br \/>\nhave downloaded Rancher and are using it to manage and implement<br \/>\nnetworking around Docker. I\u2019m really excited about some of the features<br \/>\nwe\u2019re working on, and wanted to give you a sneak peek of what\u2019s coming<br \/>\nover the next two months. \u00a0Docker Swarm Rancher has always<br \/>\nclosely followed Docker, and based on announcements at DockerCon in<br \/>\nAmsterdam, we are excited to announce that we\u2019re working on adding<br \/>\nsupport for Docker Swarm and Docker Machine. If you haven\u2019t had a chance<br \/>\nto look at these features, please do so as we feel <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/docker\/swarm\">Docker<br \/>\nSwarm<\/a>, a tool that<br \/>\nallows the deployment of Docker containers into multiple hosts, and<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/docker\/machine\">Docker Machine<\/a>, a<br \/>\ntool that allows the creation of Docker-enabled hosts across various<br \/>\ncloud providers, will become core elements of the Docker ecosystem. Here<br \/>\nare some of features we plan on developing in the short term:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Docker Machine Support: Docker Machine is designed to run locally on<br \/>\nthe machine where it has been installed. We will be integrating this<br \/>\nfunctionality with Rancher so that users will be able to create new<br \/>\nDocker enabled hosts via Rancher\u2019s UI\/API and automatically have<br \/>\nthose hosts register with Rancher. This should simplify scaling of<br \/>\ninfrastructure, and will enable Docker Machine to work with all of<br \/>\nRancher\u2019s networking and orchestration capabilities. Of course, you<br \/>\ncan always create hosts via machine outside of Rancher and register<br \/>\nthem manually with Rancher, but we think once you start using<br \/>\nmachine within Rancher you\u2019ll find it much easier.<\/li>\n<li>Docker Swarm Support: Swarm is also currently a tool that is<br \/>\nintended to run locally on the machine where it was installed. We<br \/>\nwant to help Swarm scale, so we\u2019re adding a few things to the Swarm<br \/>\nexperience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, if you create a Swarm cluster via the Rancher UI\/API, we<br \/>\nwill automatically create and manage a swarm-server that Rancher<br \/>\ncan communicate against. We will also automatically install the<br \/>\nswarm-agent on any hosts that have been added to Swarm via<br \/>\nRancher.<\/li>\n<li>Second, we are working with the Docker team to extend Swarm so<br \/>\nthat a cluster can be created outside of Rancher and<br \/>\nautomatically imported into Rancher for management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>New UI: We are working on an entirely new UI that will debut soon.<br \/>\nThe UI will focus on visualizing containers, swarms and hosts, and<br \/>\nwill incorporate support for many of the new features we\u2019ll talk<br \/>\nabout below.<\/li>\n<li>Authentication Support: Currently, Rancher supports a single user<br \/>\nmodel. We plan to integrate a framework that will allow<br \/>\nauthentication against an external system via LDAP, OAUTH, SAML,<br \/>\netc. Our first implementation will be against Github via OAUTH. With<br \/>\nthis feature, users will be able to invite colleagues to join<br \/>\nRancher and collaborate.<\/li>\n<li>Projects: To extend the focus on collaboration, Rancher is adding<br \/>\nsupport for projects. Projects will allow users to share hosts and<br \/>\ncontainers across multiple accounts. Initially, we\u2019ll be defining<br \/>\nProject members as Github team members.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As we work on all of this, we\u2019ll be sharing design and implementation<br \/>\ndetails on <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/rancherio\/rancher\">GitHub<\/a>. Please don\u2019t<br \/>\nhesitate to send feedback. Our goal is to create a fantastic operations<br \/>\nplatform that will allow users to seamlessly work with existing Docker<br \/>\nenvironments and preserve the native Docker experience. Happy New Year<br \/>\nand here\u2019s to a successful 2015!
