Node drivers are Docker machine drivers that Rancher uses to provision new hosts for the cluster. Each host provider has their own node driver. This tutorial will show you how to install, activate, and use node drivers in Rancher. As an example, the article will use phoenixNAP’s Docker Machine Driver Plugin for Bare Metal Cloud.
The BMC portal allows you to easily set up Rancher-managed Kubernetes clusters using Bare Metal Cloud servers. This tutorial guides you through the process of setting up a Rancher workload cluster alongside a management cluster using the BMC portal or the Rancher Solution API.
Developers of applications with low hardware requirements do not need high-performance servers. Instead, they can opt for cost-effective solutions providing high availability. Bare metal cloud technology allows you to delegate the critical testing work to affordable cloud instances. This article will show you how to set up a sandbox environment on a small server instance using Rancher and Kubernetes.
Using Rancher is an easy way to streamline cluster deployment on bare metal and private/public clouds. Rancher provides a web UI and proxy for managing a Kubernetes cluster. This article will provide details setting up a Rancher-controlled cluster using the phoenixNAP BMC portal.
Rancher provides DevOps teams with a complete software stack for managing containerized apps. With Rancher, Kubernetes can be run anywhere - in a datacenter, hybrid or multi-cloud environment. This tutorial shows you how to set up a K8s cluster in Rancher.
