When you provision a cluster [hosted by an infrastructure provider]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/node-pools), [node templates]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/node-pools/#node-templates) are used to provision the cluster nodes. These templates use Docker Machine configuration options to define an operating system image and settings/parameters for the node.
When you create a cluster [hosted by an infrastructure provider]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/node-pools), [node templates]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/node-pools/#node-templates) are used to provision the cluster nodes. These templates use Docker Machine configuration options to define an operating system image and settings/parameters for the node.
Starting rancher 2.2, Node Templates use Cloud Credentials to access the credential information required to provision nodes in the cloud providers. The same cloud credential can be used by multiple node templates. This saves you the hassle of re-entering access keys for the cloud provider. Cloud Credentials are stored in Kubernetes Secrets.
Starting rancher v2.2.0, Node Templates use Cloud Credentials to access the credential information required to provision nodes in the cloud providers. The same cloud credential can be used by multiple node templates. This saves you the hassle of re-entering access keys for the cloud provider. Cloud Credentials are stored in Kubernetes Secrets.
You can create cloud credentials in two contexts:
- While [provisioning a node pool cluster]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/node-pools).
- While [provisioning a node pool for a cluster]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/node-pools).
- At any time, from your [user settings](#creating-a-node-template-from-user-settings).
When you create a cloud credential, it is bound to your user profile. Cloud Credentials cannot be shared among users.
