Rancher, the container orchestration, is pretty much dead too, since it's K8s-based from (upcoming) 2.0 on, i.e. it's becoming a K8s distribution and has to compete with K8s itself, OpenShift and probably upcoming open-sourced edition of Tectonic. RancherOS might live on, even though there is a lot of doubt on why it should do so.

I think you mean "cattle", the container orchestration system in Rancher 1.x

Rancher (and Rancher OS) seem to be doing fine and getting updates constantly.

We're eyeing Rancher 2.x and the Kubernetes integration but it gives me confidence seeing Rancher 1.x getting updated while they are so focused in 2.x and K8s.

Rancher is far from dead. They are essentially making a nice frontend for k8s. All we care about is ease of deployment and management of containers. If that is being achieved by k8s, we don't have problem. And yes, they are managing 1.x version nicely with timely updates.

Plus it's a self hosted version so no such fear of it disappearing within 2 months. :)
