Rancher had Cattle, Docker had Swarm, and Kubernetes was starting to gain market adoption but was very difficult to actually work with. As the industry coalesced around Kubernetes, its been great for enterprises because now there is a gold standard for container orchestration.

Getting Started With Rancher Kubernetes is all the rage these days. I can't open my LinkedIn or Twitter page and not see some news about a new Kubernetes tool or managed service. And, in my opinion, rightly so. Kubernetes as a technology has provided organizations with an enterprise grade tool invented and promoted by Google themselves, open source and ready to use for the rest of us. Unfortunately, with the power and flexibility of Kubernetes, you also get a massive amount of complexity.
