Super nice. Been running k8s on DO using Rancher, but a native solution will be really awesome.

I'd like to see it as tightly integrated into e.g. GitLab like GKE is.

For the curious: k8s is a specific kind of contraction -- a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeronym. Other examples include i18n = internationalization.

Rancher 2.0 was just announced today, 100% Kubernetes-based https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16976934

This will come at the right time for us, we've recently been spinning up our own k8s cluster on DO using kubeadm and flexvolume plugins, and are progressively migrating micro- and monolithic services in ascending order of criticality.

Seconded, currently we set project integration up manually but since we're still ramping up that's not a cause of concern yet.
