This course covers the deployment of Rancher Kubernetes
Engine 2 (RKE2).
You will start by learning the basics of installing RKE2, and then progress to
installing a highly available RKE2 cluster. Next, you will delve into
installing additional clusters with different configurations, Including custom
Kubernetes Addons as an auto deployed service, advanced networking such as the
Multus CNI plugin, and CIS hardening. Additionally, you will learn how to
install a cluster in an air-gapped environment.
After performing the different cluster installations, you will backup and
restore an RKE2 cluster. Finally, you will learn how to upgrade both standard
and air-gapped RKE2 clusters.
This course will help prepare for the SCDS in Rancher Kubernetes Engine 2 exam.
