Rancher provides centralized authentication, role-based access control (RBAC), and monitoring capabilities. This makes it easier to collaborate and manage containerized applications. Rancher Kubernetes located in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge. RKE2's lightweight design and high availability capabilities makes it an ideal choice for deploying Kubernetes in a range of environments. Environments running Rancher RKE2 cluster with CN2 as the CNI benefit from a feature-rich CNI platform with advanced capabilities. CN2 offers features like network segmentation and isolation, seamless pod-to-pod connectivity

4 DEPLOYING AND SCALING KUBERNETES WITH RANCHER Introduction 1. Overview of Kubernetes capabilities 1.1 Introduction A lot has happened within the container ecosystem in the past few years to deployed. To manage a fleet of containers running microservices, one needs robust cluster management capabilities that can handle scheduling, service discovery, load balancing, resource monitoring and isolation a powerful tool for running and managing containers at scale. In this eBook, we will review capabilities of Kubernetes, deploy Kubernetes with Rancher, then deploy and scale some sample multi-tier applications
