Illumina Innovates with Rancher and Kubernetes
Objective: In this article, we will walk through running a distributed, production-quality database setup managed by Rancher and characterized by stable persistence. We will use Stateful Sets with a Kubernetes cluster in Rancher for the purpose of deploying a stateful distributed Cassandra database. Pre-requisites: We assume that you have a Kubernetes cluster provisioned with a cloud provider. Consult the Rancher resource if you would like to create a K8s cluster in Amazon EC2 using Rancher 2.
This tutorial gets you up and running with using Kubernetes deployment tools to deploy a cluster on Exoscale. Read our tips and best practices at Rancher.
