Introduction​

In a previous post, we described installing a Rancher server on an EKS cluster with Nginx Ingress, Let's Encrypt for TLS and Cloudflare for hosting a domain.

Today's post is an update of the old deployment which includes the latest Rancher stable Helm chart release and Proxy details hoping to fix cloud-init issues. We will provide an easy-to-follow guide outlining what's new, and why updating Rancher to a later version alongside caveats or issues faced during the deployment. For this demonstration, we will use a k3s cluster hosted on Civo Cloud.

Introduction​

For the last couple of days, I have been working on a new use case installing RKE2 clusters powered with Cilium on Azure Cloud. The requirement at hand was to use a Rancher instance and from there start deploying RKE2 clusters. After going through the official Rancher documentation, I have noticed that the instructions provided to pre-configure Azure Cloud are outdated.

In today's blog post, we will cover all the required steps taken to configure the Azure cloud-free credits to deploy RKE2 clusters with Cilium in that environment. Additionally, we will cover any limitations that come with the free credit concept.
