What you'll learn

Rancher is a one stop shop for managing Kubernetes clusters from on-prem to the cloud. In this course, Simplifying Kubernetes Management with Rancher, you'll see how to manage Kubernetes clusters easier. First, you'll learn how to set up Rancher Server with its own upstream cluster. Then, explore how to provision new, downstream clusters using both RKE2 and k3s distributions, followed by registering nodes. Finally, you'll discover how to deploy applications using a GitOps approach where you focus on what needs to run and not how to get it running. By the end of the course, you'll know how to create and manage clusters in Rancher for learning, development, testing, and even production environments.
