Running your own Kubernetes cluster with Rancher

Today I finally get around to try out Rancher. This product is great for bootstrapping your own Kubernetes cluster on prem or on Hypervisors or even in the cloud

This is by far the best kubernetes guides I have ever seen

Just got into devops, my job wants me to spin up quick. These have got to be the best videos I've stumbled upon period. Thank you Marcel!

[VinceBaker]

Fantastic fully covered walk-through. Excellent work as usual. Thanks Marcel.

Great video to know more about Rancher! I have deployed a k8 cluster bare metal with 5 physical worker/control-plane nodes and 2 virtual nodes for control plane, is distributed into three failure zones and it uses metallb as load balancer service

I started both Windows 10\Virtualboxvms\microk8s & Windows 10\Virtual box vms\k8s. Small 14 inch laptop with 16 gbs of ram With 300GB USB connected storage. All kubes ran on calico. LB running on HAProxy. The virtual machines I ran custom unattended installs of ubuntu. That was a pain but custom ISO's for each VM. I am still a little old fashion and save my work on Notepad++. You and Tech nana explain things very well. I have worked big infrastructure and small ones as well. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for your video and happy to see you're safe.

I had difficulties because i did all on a ubuntu/bionic64 on virtualbox, the hardest problem was use the kubeconfig because when i started the vms useing vagrant the current user is vagrant, but when i setted the config on the folder kube all the things were solved, thanks from Brazil :D

[rlobarros]

Thank you for a excellent guide. Clear concise and well put together. Once again EXCELLENT!!!!

[niketsingh]

amazing tutorial. Nothing skipped. Same tut can be used to setup this on AWS EC2 also. Simple, easy to follow detailed steps. Thanks a lot Marcel. God Bless ya!

[ZimTachyon]

Wow your presentation alone is worth the subscription.

[dmitriykrayniy]

Great video, thank you. We use kubeadm and ansible to spin up kubernetes for on-premises, because we like to create infrastructure by automated scripts.

My K8s clusters are deployed and configured manually on VMs, K8s cluster upgrades im doing also manually and im using metallb as LB. I will try this one - thank you for walk-through Marcel.

[charlettedavis]

I agree with everyone that these are the best videos. I plan to share them with my new counter partner who is just starting with RKE. Again, I agree with everyone these are the best videos. I plan to share this with some of my counter partner who's new to the team into RKE. I have subscribed and plan to join for the small monthly fee. It's worth it! Thank you.

Great video! The only thing missing from this tutorial is making sure your Windows OS enables the Hyper-V role through settings

[wantstuff]

Wow! Seriously, this the best video I have found. Well done

[dorinxtg]

Great video!
If I may suggest something: Don't use the ISO, use a cloud image and after adding your config, convert it to a template. That way you could spin 3-4 machines within minutes without lot of work.

[chrisumali]

Thanks for the demo and info, very helpful and concise. Have a great day

[AhmedGamal-eons]

[ddpxl]
