Rancher: Kubernetes Master Class: Single-Node, Standalone Servers, and Scalable, Secure Storage

Not all of us have unlimited budgets for infinite nodes, and even if you do, it's important to spend wisely. If you're running Rancher in a non-production environment and want to start with a single node now and upgrade to an HA configuration later, you can do this with RKE. Once a cluster is up and running, make the best use of your available storage by deploying block-level replication with Rook (CNCF) within your Kubernetes clusters.

In this session, Rancher Senior Solutions Architect Adrian Goins will:

• Bring up a single-node Rancher Server that you can later scale to HA
• Import a Kubernetes cluster running in DigitalOcean
• Deploy Rook for fault-tolerant, replicated persistent storage
• Launch a stateful service such as Rook on OpenEBS
