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.
