Delivery details
Rancher Manager and RKE2
This CloudFormation Template creates an RKE2 cluster of (3,5, or 7) all-in-one nodes on m5.xlarge machines to create a stable and perfomant platform. It then deploys Rancher Manager onto this cluster.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."

Usage instructions
Provisioning
- The Rancher Cluster Manager provisioner provides all dependencies for you to run a highly available implementation of Rancher on your AWS infrastructure, including:
- VPC
- Public Subnets
- Private Subnets
- Cluster ElasticLoadBalancers
- SecurityGroups (limiting traffic to only essential ports)
- LaunchTemplates
- AutoscalingGroups
- After configuring and deploying your CloudFormation stack, it can take up to 10 minutes for your Rancher cluster manager to be fully available.
Accessing Rancher
- If you are utilizing the Route 53 RecordSet capability of the CloudFormation template, make sure your Route 53 DNS server is routable from your local machine and navigate to the rancher hostname in a browser (ie. https://rancher.example.com )
- If not utilizing Route 53 the URL of your Rancher instance will use the DNS name given to your ELB. You can find this link in the Outputs tab of the CloudFormation stack.
Other Notes
- One IAM Role is required by the controlplane nodes to orchestrate provisioning order. This role, attached to every controlplane node, only has the ability to describe Autoscaling Groups and Autoscaling Instances.
- Each node's underlying EBS volume is encrypted by default.
- It is critical for you to store and protect your ClusterJoinToken parameter. This is vital for restoring cluster state and adding new nodes in the future.
