k3s: release v0.2.0 released
Rancher has released v0.2.0.of k3s. Information of the new release is in this article. As soon as I have some time and I have added two extra nodes to the cluster, I'm going to add the cluster to my Rancher server. I have upgraded my Raspberry Pi's to v0.2.0. The process of upgrading is really simple. Just download the new version and replace the old version of k3s with the new version and restart.
