In our previous blog post (introducing Kubernetes and Rancher) we deployed a minimal Kubernetes Cluster manually by directly calling Rancher’s awesome Kubernetes installer rke.
Now we are going one step further by introducing Terraform in our workflow to help us build reproducable and idempotent Kubernetes Cluster deployments by defining our infrastructure as code.

Kubernetes or simply K8s is becoming the de-facto standard for deploying workloads on different private, public or hybrid cloud providers like AWS, VMWare, OpenStack etc.
Rancher is a Kubernetes Cluster Manager which can be installed itself into a Kubernetes Cluster which itself can be provisioned with rancher/rke, an extremely simple, lightning fast Kubernetes installer that works everywhere.
This blog post is going to dive you through a
- minimal (one node) Kubernetes installation using rancher/rke
(which is easy extensible to N nodes) - with Rancher — the Kubernetes Cluster Manager — included.
So if you just wanna spin up a minimal Kubernetes…
