v0.6.0

Rancher Turtles (The Cluster API Extension) GA

We are pleased to announce that the Rancher Cluster API Extension (a.k.a Rancher Turtles) is becoming generally available, transitioning out from an early adopter program.

With each new release going forward we will include a table of the features that have moved to be fully supported and the new features that are experimental.

The initial GA is targeted at the GitOps workflow (to be used, for example, with Fleet) and cluster creation / operations will need to be performed via the CAPI cluster definitions directly (applied to the management cluster).

Supported	Experimental (not suitable for production)
Automatic import of CAPI Clusters into Rancher	Everything not specifically listed on the “Supported” column
Enabling CAPI Providers (excluding integration with Rancher Cloud Credentials)	CAPIProvider integration with Rancher Cloud Credentials.
Cluster provisioning via Fleet (i.e. GitOps)	Cluster API Provider vSphere (non-experimental features with the exception of machine pools and clusterclass)
Cluster API Provider AWS (non-experimental features with the exception of machine pools and clusterclass)
Cluster API Provider RKE2 (excluding any day 2 operations like ETCD Backup & Restore)

Supported versions:

• Rancher: v2.8.1 or greater
• Cluster API: v1.4.6
• Cluster API Provider AWS: v2.3.5
• Cluster API Provider RKE2: v0.2.7

We are also developing an UI extension that will be released in the future. This is only available at present via the early adopter programme. Please get in contact with your account team about details.

Rancher Turtles

Cluster API coming to Rancher

Cluster API enables managing clusters provisioning in a declarative GitOps-friendly approach, allowing users to manage efficiently huge numbers of rancher clusters through a standardised interface. Additionally, users can leverage the upstream CAPI ecosystem and benefit from the many existing infrastructure providers that enable users to provision clusters on many infrastructure provider targets.

Cluster API is released as an Extension for Rancher, allowing that traditional provisioning and cluster-api can be used side by side. That makes it a great fit not just for greenfield projects, as well existing rancher manager users can benefit.

Ranchers Cluster API extension is initially released as part of our early adopter program, enabling close collaboration with our customers, shaping jointly a mature solution that is battle proven. We are aiming to bring early Q1 Cluster API into GA and production support. If you are interested in joining our Early Adopter Program for Cluster API , don't hesitate to reach out.

If you want to get your hands wet, take a look at our documentation and give it a try. If you are stuck, have question or feedback, please ping us in the Rancher Users #cluster-api slack channel.
