Setting Up Rancher

Rancher is a Kubernetes management platform used to provision, import, and operate clusters from a single control plane.

Basic flow

1. Install Rancher on a supported Kubernetes cluster.
2. Open the Rancher UI and create the first admin user.
3. Import existing clusters or create a new downstream cluster.
4. Install monitoring, logging, and ingress components as needed.

Notes

• Keep the installation instructions aligned with the Rancher version you use.
• For production, document TLS, ingress, and storage choices explicitly.
• If you need cluster bootstrap steps, add them here as a separate subsection.
