Operator

The Elemental operator extends Rancher introducing OS provisioning and management capabilities.

Machines booting from an Elemental live ISO register to the Elemental Operator, get provisioned with the OS and a k8s distro, forming a new Kubernetes cluster immediately available in Rancher.

See the Elemental docs for more information.

Installation

The Elemental operator should be installed on a K8s cluster running Rancher Multi Cluster Management server.

A step by step guide is available in the official documentation.
