> ## Agent Instructions
> Use the documentation index to find relevant pages, then read the linked Markdown before answering and cite the source URL.
> Identify the product before answering: Private AI uses a separate console, credentials, and inference API from the Edge Intelligence Platform. Do not apply instructions from one product to the other.
> Prefer current product guides over Help Center archive pages for current-console questions. Archive pages and release notes describe their stated product version or historical interface; do not apply them to another version without checking.
> Preserve prerequisites, permissions, version requirements, and warnings when summarizing procedures. Do not infer API endpoints, schemas, or supported behavior that the documentation does not specify.

## What's new (User Facing)?

**Rancher Integration Plugin Support**—Starting with ZedControl Release 6.8.0, the Rancher plugin is integrated with ZedUI. You can now create an integration plugin for Rancher where the user can mention Rancher connection details.

\[Look  [Enterprise](https://zededa.mintlify.site/new-ui/infrastructure-services/administration-and-security.md) ].

 

**Cluster Instance Automatic Onboarding Support**—Starting with ZedControl Release 6.8.0, the user can automatically onboard the cluster in Rancher from ZedControl. Previously, while creating a cluster instance, the user manually created a cluster object on Rancher and then onboard a cluster instance.

**Auto Network Instance Creation Support**—Starting with ZedControl Release 6.8.0, while creating a cluster instance, the user can create a network instance automatically on all of the devices that are part of that cluster instance pool.
