help Rancher 2.0 FAQ
What changed with Rancher 2.0 compared with the older Rancher 1.x line?
Rancher 2.0 shifted Rancher into a Kubernetes-first management platform rather than centering on the older Cattle scheduler. That made it useful for managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across clouds and on-premises environments.
Can Rancher 2.0 manage existing Kubernetes clusters?
Yes. A major Rancher 2.x use case is importing and managing existing Kubernetes clusters from a central UI, not only creating new clusters with Rancher's own tooling.
How does Rancher 2.0 relate to RKE?
RKE, the Rancher Kubernetes Engine, is Rancher's Kubernetes installer and cluster engine from the Rancher Labs ecosystem. Rancher 2.0 can manage RKE-created clusters alongside other Kubernetes clusters.
Who owns Rancher now?
SUSE acquired Rancher Labs in 2020. Rancher remains associated with open-source Kubernetes management, while SUSE provides the commercial enterprise packaging and support.
