Continental Innovates with Rancher and Kubernetes
This section describes how to enable the vSphere cloud provider. You will need to use the cloud_provider directive in the cluster YAML file.
cloud_provider
The vSphere Cloud Provider interacts with VMware infrastructure (vCenter or standalone ESXi server) to provision and manage storage for persistent volumes in a Kubernetes cluster.
When provisioning Kubernetes using RKE CLI or using RKE clusters in Rancher, the vSphere Cloud Provider can be enabled by configuring the cloud_provider directive in the cluster YAML file.
To enable the vSphere Cloud Provider in the cluster, you must add the top-level cloud_provider directive to the cluster configuration file, set the name property to vsphere and add the vsphereCloudProvider directive containing the configuration matching your infrastructure. See the configuration reference for the gory details.
