Rancher: Kubernetes Master Class: Hands-On with K3s Support in Rancher

About the Event

K3s, the lightweight- certified Kubernetes distribution created by Rancher Labs, has become a popular choise for IoT and edge computing. But Rancher users have been asking for tighter integration between Rancher Server and K3s.

With Rancher 2.4, new Rancher HA installations can be installed on K3s clusters with external SQL databases. This setup simplifies cluster administration with no need to operate etcd. Management of the database can be offloaded to hosted solutions like RDS running MySQL.

In this Kubernetes Master Class, Director of Engineering Craig Jellick will discuss and demo the new K3s support in Rancher, go over use cases and best practices.
