In today's emerging cloud-native environments, Kubernetes is everywhere.
Create, manage and support multiple enterprise grade clusters from a single pane of glass UI. Use Projects for additional level of isolation in the same cluster.
Rancher is a complete software stack for teams adopting containers. It addresses the operational and security challenges of managing multiple Kubernetes clusters, while providing DevOps teams with integrated tools for running containerized workloads.
You don’t need to figure Kubernetes out all on your own. Rancher is open source software, with an enormous community of users.

Prepare a Linux host with 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 (or another supported Linux distribution, and at least 4GB of memory. Install a supported version of Docker on the host."
To install and run Rancher, execute the following Docker command on your host:
$ sudo docker run -d --restart=unless-stopped -p 80:80 -p 443:443 rancher/rancher
To access the Rancher server UI, open a browser and go to the hostname or address where the container was installed. You will be guided through setting up your first cluster.
