The New Stack Podcast

Talking Up Kubernetes with Rancher

Episode Summary

Shannon Williams has played a very hands-on role in launching software for over 20 years. Recently, after observing the power and potential of containerization, Williams co-founded  Rancher Labs in 2014, after successfully creating Cloud.com (now owned by Citrix Systems). Since 2014, things have changed. Kubernetes, of course, has emerged as the standard containerization platform, prompting Rancher to go “all Kubernetes” with its recent production release of Rancher’s namesake product Rancher 2.0. In this episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, Williams takes a step back to offer his perspective on Kubernetes and why and how Rancher made the shift to the platform.
