We’ll be deploying this on a https://www.suse.com/products/rancher-kubernetes-engine/ cluster on https://www.digitalocean.com/, but the instructions should work fine for almost every Kubernetes distribution.

Step Provision a SUSE Rancher Server and RKE Cluster on DigitalOcean

Once you’ve finished admiring the Rancher UI, you can check that your RKE cluster is also working correctly using kubectl.
