Use Rancher on NetApp HCI

Rancher on NetApp HCI overview

Rancher is a complete software stack for teams adopting containers. Rancher addresses
the operational and security challenges of managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across
different infrastructures, while providing DevOps teams with integrated tools for running
containerized workloads.

Deploying Rancher on NetApp HCI deploys the Rancher control plane, also referred to as the 

Rancher server

,

and enables you to create on-premises Kubernetes clusters. You deploy the Rancher control plane by using
the NetApp Hybrid Cloud Control.

After deployment, using the Rancher control Plane, you provision, manage, and monitor Kubernetes clusters
used by Dev and Ops teams. Dev and Ops teams can use Rancher to perform activities on user clusters that
reside on NetApp HCI itself, a public cloud provider, or any other infrastructure that Rancher enables.

Benefits of Rancher on NetApp HCI

• Ease of installation: You do not need to learn how to install and configure Rancher. You can deploy a

template-based implementation, which was jointly developed by NetApp HCI and Rancher.

• Lifecycle management: In a manual Rancher implementation, updates for the Rancher server application

or the Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) cluster are not automated. Rancher on NetApp HCI provides the
ability for updates to the management cluster, that includes the Rancher server and the RKE.

What you can do with Rancher on NetApp HCI

With Rancher on NetApp HCI, you can:

• Deploy services across cloud providers and your private cloud.

• Port the apps and data across a hybrid cloud architecture regardless of cloud location without

compromising service-level agreements.

• Spin up cloud-native applications yourself.

• Centralize management of multiple clusters (new and existing).

• Perform orchestration of hybrid cloud Kubernetes-based applications.

Technical Support option

Using Rancher on NetApp HCI and Kubernetes open-source software includes free deployment and usage.
License keys are not required.

You can choose a NetApp Rancher Support option to obtain core-based, Rancher enterprise support.

Rancher Support is not included in your NetApp Support Edge agreement. Contact NetApp
Sales or your reseller for options. If you purchase Rancher Support from NetApp, you will
receive an email with instructions.
