\"\"Almost one year ago I started
\nStampede<\/a> as an R&D project to look at the
\nimplications of Docker on cloud computing moving forward, and as such
\nI\u2019ve explored many ideas. After releasing Stampede, and getting so much
\ngreat feedback, I\u2019ve decided to concentrate my efforts. I\u2019m renaming
\nStampede.io to Rancher.io<\/a> to signify the new
\ndirection and focus the project is taking. Going forward, instead of the
\nexperimental personal project that Stampede was, Rancher will be a
\nwell-sponsored open source project focused on building a portable
\nimplementation of infrastructure services similar to EBS, VPC, ELB, and
\nmany other services. Most Docker projects today look to build solutions
\nthat will sit on top of Docker and allow developers to schedule, monitor
\nand manage applications. Rancher takes a different approach, it focuses
\non developing infrastructure services that will sit below Docker.
\nRancher will deliver a completely portable implementation of the
\ninfrastructure services you would expect to find in a cloud such as AWS,
\nincluding EBS, VPC, ELB, Security Groups, Monitoring, RDS, and many
\nmore. Docker has dramatically impacted cloud computing because it offers
\na portable package for an application. This portability means an
\napplication will run on any infrastructure whether it is your laptop, a
\nphysical server, or a cloud. Once you have a portable application you
\ncan do some amazing things to improve application performance,
\navailability and costs using scheduling, service discovery, application
\ntemplating, policy management, etc. Exciting projects including
\nKubernetes, Panamax, Helios, Clocker, Dies, etc, are building technology
\non top of Docker to deliver this type of value. Rancher focuses on a
\nvery different problem. Imagine I have an application running on AWS
\ntoday that uses functionality from EBS and VPC. If I Dockerize my
\napplication and run it on AWS, I will still be able to leverage EBS and
\nVPC. However, if I move that application to Digital Ocean, or my own
\ndatacenter, those services just don\u2019t exist. While Docker itself is
\nportable, infrastructure services vary dramatically between clouds, and
\ndata centers, making real application portability almost impossible
\nwithout architecting around those differences in your application.
\nRancher focuses on building portable implementations of these
\ninfrastructure services that can run on any cloud, or even multiple
\nclouds at the same time. With Rancher you will be able to get
\ninfrastructure services as reliable as AWS provides, anywhere, including
\non your own hardware, another cloud provider, a dedicated server
\nprovider, or any combination of physical and virtual resources. With
\nRancher, hybrid cloud is no longer an over-hyped marketing term that
\nrelies on trying to make incompatible APIs work together, but instead a
\ncore capability as ubiquitous as Linux and Docker. In the short term you
\ncan expect Rancher to focus on fundamental storage and networking
\nservices similar to EBS, VPC, ELB, and Route 53. Once those fundamental
\nservices are implemented they will serve as the foundation for other
\ninfrastructure services similar to CloudWatch, CloudMetrics,
\nAutoScaling, RDS etc. I\u2019m building Rancher, because I want users to be
\nable to access awesome portable infrastructure services everywhere they
\ncan run Docker. Docker is portable because Linux is everywhere, and
\nRancher takes the same approach; we build storage, networking, and other
\ninfrastructure services from simple Linux VMs and servers. Thank you
\nagain for all of the input on Stampede, and I hope you will join me in
\nmaking Rancher an enormous success. If you\u2019d like to learn more about
\nRancher, please schedule a demo, and we can talk with you about the
\nproject. -Darren Shepherd
