Hybrid Cloud and Multi Cloud

Through a multi-cloud solution, Rancher gives control back to operations while offering flexibility and ease of use for developers.

A Detailed Overview of Rancher's Architecture

Amazon Web Services

You have a variety of ways to setup Kubernetes clusters on AWS. The easiest way will be EKS, which is integrated with Rancher. You get more control over cluster setup with tools like RKE, Kops, or one of many other Kubernetes installers. Rancher can manage Kubernetes clusters on AWS regardless of how they are setup.

Google Cloud

The easiest way to set up a Kubernetes cluster on Google Cloud is GKE, the most mature cloud Kubernetes service. GKE is integrated with Rancher. You can, of course, setup your own custom clusters using RKE or other Kubernetes installers. Rancher can manage Kubernetes clusters on Google Cloud regardless of how they are setup.

Microsoft Azure

We recommend setting up a Kubernetes cluster on Azure using AKS, the Kubernetes service supported by Microsoft. AKS is integrated with Rancher. You can of course setup your own custom clusters using RKE or other Kubernetes installers. Rancher can manage Kubernetes clusters on Azure regardless of how they are setup.

VMware

The easiest way to setup a Kubernetes cluster on VMware is RKE, which is integrated into Rancher. You can also use Pivotal Container Service (PKS), which is VMware’s official Kubernetes distribution, but it does require a separate purchase from VMware. Rancher can manage Kubernetes clusters on VMware cluster regardless of how they are setup.

Bare Metal Servers

The easiest way to set up a Kubernetes cluster on bare metal servers is RKE, which is integrated into Rancher. You can also use Pivotal Container Service (PKS) which is VMware’s official Kubernetes distribution, but it does require a separate purchase from VMware. Rancher can manage Kubernetes clusters on VMware cluster regardless how they are setup.
