title: EC2 Node Template Configuration
weight: 1
---
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
For more details about EC2, nodes, refer to the official documentation for the [EC2 Management Console](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2).
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="Rancher v2.2.0+">
### Region
In the **Region** field, select the same region that you used when creating your cloud credentials.
### Cloud Credentials
Your AWS account access information, stored in a [cloud credential.](../../../user-settings/manage-cloud-credentials.md)
See [Amazon Documentation: Creating Access Keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html#Using_CreateAccessKey) how to create an Access Key and Secret Key.
See [Amazon Documentation: Creating IAM Policies (Console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create.html#access_policies_create-start) how to create an IAM policy.
See [Amazon Documentation: Adding Permissions to a User (Console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_change-permissions.html#users_change_permissions-add-console) how to attach an IAM
See our three example JSON policies:
- [Example IAM Policy](../../../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/kubernetes-clusters-in-rancher-setup/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/create-an-amazon-ec2-cluster.md#example-iam-policy)
- [Example IAM Policy with PassRole](../../../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/kubernetes-clusters-in-rancher-setup/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/create-an-amazon-ec2-cluster.md#example-iam-policy-with-passrole) (needed if you want to use [Kubernetes Cloud Provider](cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/options/cloud-providers) or want to pass an IAM Profile to an instance)
- [Example IAM Policy to allow encrypted EBS volumes](../../../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/kubernetes-clusters-in-rancher-setup/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/create-an-amazon-ec2-cluster.md#example-iam-policy-to-allow-encrypted-ebs-volumes) policy to an user.
### Authenticate & Configure Nodes
Choose an availability zone and network settings for your cluster.
### Security Group
Choose the default security group or configure a security group.
Please refer to [Amazon EC2 security group when using Node Driver](../../../../getting-started/installation-and-upgrade/installation-requirements/port-requirements.md#rancher-aws-ec2-security-group) to see what rules are created in the `rancher-nodes` Security Group.
### Instance Options
Configure the instances that will be created. Make sure you configure the correct **SSH User** for the configured AMI.
If you need to pass an **IAM Instance Profile Name** (not ARN), for example, when you want to use a [Kubernetes Cloud Provider](cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/options/cloud-providers), you will need an additional permission in your policy. See [Example IAM policy with PassRole](#example-iam-policy-with-passrole) for an example policy.
### Engine Options
In the **Engine Options** section of the node template, you can configure the Docker daemon. You may want to specify the docker version or a Docker registry mirror.
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="Rancher before v2.2.0">
### Account Access
**Account Access** is where you configure the region of the nodes, and the credentials (Access Key and Secret Key) used to create the machine.
See [Amazon Documentation: Creating Access Keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html#Using_CreateAccessKey) how to create an Access Key and Secret Key.
See [Amazon Documentation: Creating IAM Policies (Console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_create.html#access_policies_create-start) how to create an IAM policy.
See [Amazon Documentation: Adding Permissions to a User (Console)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_users_change-permissions.html#users_change_permissions-add-console) how to attach an IAM
See our three example JSON policies:
- [Example IAM Policy](../../../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/kubernetes-clusters-in-rancher-setup/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/create-an-amazon-ec2-cluster.md#example-iam-policy)
- [Example IAM Policy with PassRole](../../../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/kubernetes-clusters-in-rancher-setup/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/create-an-amazon-ec2-cluster.md#example-iam-policy-with-passrole) (needed if you want to use [Kubernetes Cloud Provider](cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/options/cloud-providers) or want to pass an IAM Profile to an instance)
- [Example IAM Policy to allow encrypted EBS volumes](../../../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/kubernetes-clusters-in-rancher-setup/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/create-an-amazon-ec2-cluster.md#example-iam-policy-to-allow-encrypted-ebs-volumes) policy to an user.
### Zone and Network
**Zone and Network** configures the availability zone and network settings for your cluster.
### Security Groups
**Security Groups** creates or configures the Security Groups applied to your nodes. Please refer to [Amazon EC2 security group when using Node Driver](../../../../getting-started/installation-and-upgrade/installation-requirements/port-requirements.md#rancher-aws-ec2-security-group) to see what rules are created in the `rancher-nodes` Security Group.
### Instance
**Instance** configures the instances that will be created.
### SSH User
Make sure you configure the correct **SSH User** for the configured AMI.
### IAM Instance Profile Name
If you need to pass an **IAM Instance Profile Name** (not ARN), for example, when you want to use a [Kubernetes Cloud Provider](cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/options/cloud-providers), you will need an additional permission in your policy. See [Example IAM policy with PassRole](#example-iam-policy-with-passrole) for an example policy.

# Account Access
In the **Account Access** section, enter the vCenter FQDN or IP address and the credentials for the vSphere user account.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|:------------------------|:--------:|:------------------------------------------------------------|
| vCenter or ESXi Server | * | IP or FQDN of the vCenter or ESXi server used for managing VMs. Enter the vCenter or ESXi hostname/IP. ESXi is the virtualization platform where you create and run virtual machines and virtual appliances. vCenter Server is the service through which you manage multiple hosts connected in a network and pool host resources. |
| Port | * | Port to use when connecting to the server. Defaults to `443`. |
| Username | * | vCenter/ESXi user to authenticate with the server. |
| Password | * | User's password. |
# Scheduling
Choose what hypervisor the virtual machine will be scheduled to.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|:------------------------|:--------:|:------------------------------------------------------------|
| Data Center | * | Name/path of the datacenter to create VMs in. |
| Pool | | Name/path of the resource pool to schedule the VMs in. If not specified, the default resource pool is used. |
| Host | | Name/path of the host system to schedule VMs in. If specified, the host system's pool will be used and the *Pool* parameter will be ignored. |
| Network | * | Name of the VM network to attach VMs to. |
| Data Store | * | Datastore to store the VM disks. |
| Folder | | Name of a folder in the datacenter to create the VMs in. Must already exist. The folder name should be prefaced with `vm/` in your vSphere config file. |
# Instance Options
In the **Instance Options** section, configure the number of vCPUs, memory, and disk size for the VMs created by this template.
Only VMs booting from RancherOS ISO are supported.
Ensure that the OS ISO URL contains the URL of the VMware ISO release for RancherOS: `rancheros-vmware.iso`.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|:------------------------|:--------:|:------------------------------------------------------------|
| CPUs | * | Number of vCPUS to assign to VMs. |
| Memory | * | Amount of memory to assign to VMs. |
| Disk | * | Size of the disk (in MB) to attach to the VMs. |
| Cloud Init | | URL of a [RancherOS cloud-config]({{<baseurl>}}/os/v1.x/en/configuration/) file to provision VMs with. This file allows further customization of the RancherOS operating system, such as network configuration, DNS servers, or system daemons.|
| OS ISO URL | * | URL of a RancherOS vSphere ISO file to boot the VMs from. You can find URLs for specific versions in the [Rancher OS GitHub Repo](https://github.com/rancher/os). |
| Configuration Parameters | | Additional configuration parameters for the VMs. These correspond to the [Advanced Settings](https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1016098) in the vSphere console. Example use cases include providing RancherOS [guestinfo]({{<baseurl>}}/os/v1.x/en/installation/cloud/vmware-esxi/#vmware-guestinfo) parameters or enabling disk UUIDs for the VMs (`disk.EnableUUID=TRUE`). |
# Disk UUIDs
In order to provision nodes with RKE, all nodes must be configured with disk UUIDs. Follow these instructions to enable UUIDs for the nodes in your vSphere cluster.
To enable disk UUIDs for all VMs created for a cluster,
1. Navigate to the **Node Templates** in the Rancher UI while logged in as an administrator.
2. Add or edit an existing vSphere node template.
3. Under **Instance Options** click on **Add Parameter**.
4. Enter `disk.enableUUID` as key with a value of **TRUE**.
![](/img/rke/vsphere-nodedriver-enable-uuid.png)
5. Click **Create** or **Save**.
**Result:** The disk UUID is enabled in the vSphere node template.
# Node Tags and Custom Attributes
These attributes allow you to attach metadata to objects in the vSphere inventory to make it easier to sort and search for these objects.
Optionally, you can:
- Provide a set of configuration parameters (instance-options) for the VMs.
- Assign labels to the VMs that can be used as a base for scheduling rules in the cluster.
- Customize the configuration of the Docker daemon on the VMs that will be created.
> **Note:** Custom attributes are a legacy feature that will eventually be removed from vSphere.
# Cloud Init
[Cloud-init](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) allows you to initialize your nodes by applying configuration on the first boot. This may involve things such as creating users, authorizing SSH keys or setting up the network.
You may specify the URL of a RancherOS cloud-config.yaml file in the the **Cloud Init** field. Refer to the [RancherOS Documentation](https://rancher.com/docs/os/v1.x/en/configuration/#cloud-config) for details on the supported configuration directives. Note that the URL must be network accessible from the VMs created by the template.

| CPUs | * | Number of vCPUS to assign to VMs. |
| Memory | * | Amount of memory to assign to VMs. |
| Disk | * | Size of the disk (in MB) to attach to the VMs. |
| Cloud Init | | URL of a [RancherOS cloud-config]({{<baseurl>}}/os/v1.x/en/configuration/) file to provision VMs with. This file allows further customization of the RancherOS operating system, such as network configuration, DNS servers, or system daemons.|
| OS ISO URL | * | URL of a RancherOS vSphere ISO file to boot the VMs from. You can find URLs for specific versions in the [Rancher OS GitHub Repo](https://github.com/rancher/os). |
| Configuration Parameters | | Additional configuration parameters for the VMs. These correspond to the [Advanced Settings](https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1016098) in the vSphere console. Example use cases include providing RancherOS [guestinfo]({{<baseurl>}}/os/v1.x/en/installation/cloud/vmware-esxi/#vmware-guestinfo) parameters or enabling disk UUIDs for the VMs (`disk.EnableUUID=TRUE`). |
# Node Tags and Custom Attributes
These attributes allow you to attach metadata to objects in the vSphere inventory to make it easier to sort and search for these objects.
Optionally, you can:
- Provide a set of configuration parameters (instance-options) for the VMs.
- Assign labels to the VMs that can be used as a base for scheduling rules in the cluster.
- Customize the configuration of the Docker daemon on the VMs that will be created.
> **Note:** Custom attributes are a legacy feature that will eventually be removed from vSphere.
# Cloud Init
[Cloud-init](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) allows you to initialize your nodes by applying configuration on the first boot. This may involve things such as creating users, authorizing SSH keys or setting up the network.
You may specify the URL of a RancherOS cloud-config.yaml file in the the **Cloud Init** field. Refer to the [RancherOS Documentation](https://rancher.com/docs/os/v1.x/en/configuration/#cloud-config) for details on the supported configuration directives. Note that the URL must be network accessible from the VMs created by the template.

# Account Access
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|:----------------------|:--------:|:-----|
| Cloud Credentials | * | Your vSphere account access information, stored in a [cloud credential.](../../../../user-settings/manage-cloud-credentials.md) |
Your cloud credential has these fields:
| Credential Field | Description |
|-----------------|--------------|
| vCenter or ESXi Server | Enter the vCenter or ESXi hostname/IP. ESXi is the virtualization platform where you create and run virtual machines and virtual appliances. vCenter Server is the service through which you manage multiple hosts connected in a network and pool host resources. |
| Port | Optional: configure configure the port of the vCenter or ESXi server. |
| Username and password | Enter your vSphere login username and password. |
# Scheduling
Choose what hypervisor the virtual machine will be scheduled to.
The fields in the **Scheduling** section should auto-populate with the data center and other scheduling options that are available to you in vSphere.
| Field | Required | Explanation |
|---------|---------------|-----------|
| Data Center | * | Choose the name/path of the data center where the VM will be scheduled. |
| Resource Pool | | Name of the resource pool to schedule the VMs in. Resource pools can be used to partition available CPU and memory resources of a standalone host or cluster, and they can also be nested. Leave blank for standalone ESXi. If not specified, the default resource pool is used. |
| Data Store | * | If you have a data store cluster, you can toggle the **Data Store** field. This lets you select a data store cluster where your VM will be scheduled to. If the field is not toggled, you can select an individual disk. |
| Folder | | Name of a folder in the datacenter to create the VMs in. Must already exist. The VM folders in this dropdown menu directly correspond to your VM folders in vSphere. The folder name should be prefaced with `vm/` in your vSphere config file. |
| Host | | The IP of the host system to schedule VMs in. Leave this field blank for a standalone ESXi or for a cluster with DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler). If specified, the host system's pool will be used and the **Resource Pool** parameter will be ignored. |
# Instance Options
In the **Instance Options** section, configure the number of vCPUs, memory, and disk size for the VMs created by this template.
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|:----------------|:--------:|:-----------|
| CPUs | * | Number of vCPUS to assign to VMs. |
| Memory | * | Amount of memory to assign to VMs. |
| Disk | * | Size of the disk (in MB) to attach to the VMs. |
| Creation method | * | The method for setting up an operating system on the node. The operating system can be installed from an ISO or from a VM template. Depending on the creation method, you will also have to specify a VM template, content library, existing VM, or ISO. For more information on creation methods, refer to [About VM Creation Methods.](#about-vm-creation-methods) |
| Cloud Init | | URL of a `cloud-config.yml` file or URL to provision VMs with. This file allows further customization of the operating system, such as network configuration, DNS servers, or system daemons. The operating system must support `cloud-init`. |
| Networks | | Name(s) of the network to attach the VM to. |
| Configuration Parameters used for guestinfo | | Additional configuration parameters for the VMs. These correspond to the [Advanced Settings](https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1016098) in the vSphere console. Example use cases include providing RancherOS [guestinfo]({{<baseurl>}}/os/v1.x/en/installation/cloud/vmware-esxi/#vmware-guestinfo) parameters or enabling disk UUIDs for the VMs (`disk.EnableUUID=TRUE`). |
### About VM Creation Methods
In the **Creation method** field, configure the method used to provision VMs in vSphere. Available options include creating VMs that boot from a RancherOS ISO or creating VMs by cloning from an existing virtual machine or [VM template](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-F7BF0E6B-7C4F-4E46-8BBF-76229AEA7220.html).
The existing VM or template may use any modern Linux operating system that is configured with support for [cloud-init](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) using the [NoCloud datasource](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/datasources/nocloud.html).
Choose the way that the VM will be created:
- **Deploy from template: Data Center:** Choose a VM template that exists in the data center that you selected.
- **Deploy from template: Content Library:** First, select the [Content Library](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-254B2CE8-20A8-43F0-90E8-3F6776C2C896.html) that contains your template, then select the template from the populated list **Library templates.**
- **Clone an existing virtual machine:** In the **Virtual machine** field, choose an existing VM that the new VM will be cloned from.
- **Install from boot2docker ISO:** Ensure that the **OS ISO URL** field contains the URL of a VMware ISO release for RancherOS (`rancheros-vmware.iso`). Note that this URL must be accessible from the nodes running your Rancher server installation.
# Networks
The node template now allows a VM to be provisioned with multiple networks. In the **Networks** field, you can now click **Add Network** to add any networks available to you in vSphere.
# Node Tags and Custom Attributes
Tags allow you to attach metadata to objects in the vSphere inventory to make it easier to sort and search for these objects.
For tags, all your vSphere tags will show up as options to select from in your node template.
In the custom attributes, Rancher will let you select all the custom attributes you have already set up in vSphere. The custom attributes are keys and you can enter values for each one.
> **Note:** Custom attributes are a legacy feature that will eventually be removed from vSphere.
# cloud-init
[Cloud-init](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) allows you to initialize your nodes by applying configuration on the first boot. This may involve things such as creating users, authorizing SSH keys or setting up the network.
To make use of cloud-init initialization, create a cloud config file using valid YAML syntax and paste the file content in the the **Cloud Init** field. Refer to the [cloud-init documentation.](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/examples.html) for a commented set of examples of supported cloud config directives.
Note that cloud-init is not supported when using the ISO creation method.

title: RKE Cluster Configuration Reference
weight: 2250
---
When Rancher installs Kubernetes, it uses [RKE](../../../pages-for-subheaders/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher.md) as the Kubernetes distribution.
This section covers the configuration options that are available in Rancher for a new or existing RKE Kubernetes cluster.
You can configure the Kubernetes options one of two ways:
- [Rancher UI](#rancher-ui-options): Use the Rancher UI to select options that are commonly customized when setting up a Kubernetes cluster.
- [Cluster Config File](#cluster-config-file): Instead of using the Rancher UI to choose Kubernetes options for the cluster, advanced users can create an RKE config file. Using a config file allows you to set any of the options available in an RKE installation, except for system_images configuration, by specifying them in YAML.
In Rancher v2.0.0-v2.2.x, the RKE cluster config file in Rancher is identical to the [cluster config file for the Rancher Kubernetes Engine](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/), which is the tool Rancher uses to provision clusters. In Rancher v2.3.0, the RKE information is still included in the config file, but it is separated from other options, so that the RKE cluster config options are nested under the `rancher_kubernetes_engine_config` directive. For more information, see the section about the [cluster config file.](#cluster-config-file)
This section is a cluster configuration reference, covering the following topics:
- [Rancher UI Options](#rancher-ui-options)
- [Kubernetes version](#kubernetes-version)

# Rancher UI Options
When creating a cluster using one of the options described in [Rancher Launched Kubernetes](../../../pages-for-subheaders/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher.md), you can configure basic Kubernetes options using the **Cluster Options** section.
### Kubernetes Version
The version of Kubernetes installed on your cluster nodes. Rancher packages its own version of Kubernetes based on [hyperkube](https://github.com/rancher/hyperkube).
### Network Provider
The [Network Provider](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/networking/) that the cluster uses. For more details on the different networking providers, please view our [Networking FAQ](../../../faq/container-network-interface-providers.md).
>**Note:** After you launch the cluster, you cannot change your network provider. Therefore, choose which network provider you want to use carefully, as Kubernetes doesn't allow switching between network providers. Once a cluster is created with a network provider, changing network providers would require you tear down the entire cluster and all its applications.
Out of the box, Rancher is compatible with the following network providers:
- [Canal](https://github.com/projectcalico/canal)
- [Flannel](https://github.com/coreos/flannel#flannel)
- [Calico](https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.11/introduction/)
- [Weave](https://github.com/weaveworks/weave) (Available as of v2.2.0)
**Notes on Canal:**
In v2.0.0 - v2.0.4 and v2.0.6, this was the default option for these clusters was Canal with network isolation. With the network isolation automatically enabled, it prevented any pod communication between [projects](k8s-in-rancher/projects-and-namespaces/).
As of v2.0.7, if you use Canal, you also have the option of using **Project Network Isolation**, which will enable or disable communication between pods in different [projects](k8s-in-rancher/projects-and-namespaces/).
>**Attention Rancher v2.0.0 - v2.0.6 Users**
>
>- In previous Rancher releases, Canal isolates project network communications with no option to disable it. If you are using any of these Rancher releases, be aware that using Canal prevents all communication between pods in different projects.
>- If you have clusters using Canal and are upgrading to v2.0.7, those clusters enable Project Network Isolation by default. If you want to disable Project Network Isolation, edit the cluster and disable the option.
**Notes on Flannel:**
In v2.0.5, this was the default option, which did not prevent any network isolation between projects.
**Notes on Weave:**
When Weave is selected as network provider, Rancher will automatically enable encryption by generating a random password. If you want to specify the password manually, please see how to configure your cluster using a [Config File](rke1-cluster-configuration.md#cluster-config-file) and the [Weave Network Plug-in Options](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/network-plugins/#weave-network-plug-in-options).
### Kubernetes Cloud Providers
You can configure a [Kubernetes cloud provider](cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/options/cloud-providers). If you want to use [volumes and storage](k8s-in-rancher/volumes-and-storage/) in Kubernetes, typically you must select the specific cloud provider in order to use it. For example, if you want to use Amazon EBS, you would need to select the `aws` cloud provider.
>**Note:** If the cloud provider you want to use is not listed as an option, you will need to use the [config file option](#cluster-config-file) to configure the cloud provider. Please reference the [RKE cloud provider documentation](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/cloud-providers/) on how to configure the cloud provider.
If you want to see all the configuration options for a cluster, please click **Show advanced options** on the bottom right. The advanced options are described below:
### Private registries
_Available as of v2.2.0_
The cluster-level private registry configuration is only used for provisioning clusters.
There are two main ways to set up private registries in Rancher: by setting up the [global default registry](../../../how-to-guides/advanced-user-guides/authentication-permissions-and-global-configuration/global-default-private-registry.md) through the **Settings** tab in the global view, and by setting up a private registry in the advanced options in the cluster-level settings. The global default registry is intended to be used for air-gapped setups, for registries that do not require credentials. The cluster-level private registry is intended to be used in all setups in which the private registry requires credentials.
If your private registry requires credentials, you need to pass the credentials to Rancher by editing the cluster options for each cluster that needs to pull images from the registry.
The private registry configuration option tells Rancher where to pull the [system images](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/system-images/) or [addon images](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/) that will be used in your cluster.
- **System images** are components needed to maintain the Kubernetes cluster.
- **Add-ons** are used to deploy several cluster components, including network plug-ins, the ingress controller, the DNS provider, or the metrics server.
See the [RKE documentation on private registries](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/private-registries/) for more information on the private registry for components applied during the provisioning of the cluster.
### Authorized Cluster Endpoint
_Available as of v2.2.0_
Authorized Cluster Endpoint can be used to directly access the Kubernetes API server, without requiring communication through Rancher.
> The authorized cluster endpoint is available only in clusters that Rancher has provisioned [using RKE](rke1-cluster-configuration.md#authorized-cluster-endpoint). It is not available for clusters in hosted Kubernetes providers, such as Amazon's EKS. Additionally, the authorized cluster endpoint cannot be enabled for RKE clusters that are imported into Rancher; it is available only on Rancher-launched Kubernetes clusters.
This is enabled by default in Rancher-launched Kubernetes clusters, using the IP of the node with the `controlplane` role and the default Kubernetes self signed certificates.
For more detail on how an authorized cluster endpoint works and why it is used, refer to the [architecture section.](../../../pages-for-subheaders/rancher-manager-architecture.md#4-authorized-cluster-endpoint)
We recommend using a load balancer with the authorized cluster endpoint. For details, refer to the [recommended architecture section.](../../rancher-manager-architecture/architecture-recommendations.md#architecture-for-an-authorized-cluster-endpoint)
### Node Pools
For information on using the Rancher UI to set up node pools in an RKE cluster, refer to [this page.](../../../pages-for-subheaders/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md)
# Advanced Options
The following options are available when you create clusters in the Rancher UI. They are located under **Advanced Options.**
### NGINX Ingress
Option to enable or disable the [NGINX ingress controller](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/ingress-controllers/).
### Node Port Range
Option to change the range of ports that can be used for [NodePort services](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#nodeport). Default is `30000-32767`.
### Metrics Server Monitoring
Option to enable or disable [Metrics Server](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/metrics-server/).
### Pod Security Policy Support
Option to enable and select a default [Pod Security Policy](../../../how-to-guides/advanced-user-guides/authentication-permissions-and-global-configuration/create-pod-security-policies.md). You must have an existing Pod Security Policy configured before you can use this option.
### Docker Version on Nodes
Option to require [a supported Docker version](../../../pages-for-subheaders/installation-requirements.md) installed on the cluster nodes that are added to the cluster, or to allow unsupported Docker versions installed on the cluster nodes.
### Docker Root Directory
If the nodes you are adding to the cluster have Docker configured with a non-default Docker Root Directory (default is `/var/lib/docker`), please specify the correct Docker Root Directory in this option.
### Recurring etcd Snapshots
Option to enable or disable [recurring etcd snapshots](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/etcd-snapshots/#etcd-recurring-snapshots).
# Cluster Config File
Instead of using the Rancher UI to choose Kubernetes options for the cluster, advanced users can create an RKE config file. Using a config file allows you to set any of the [options available](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/) in an RKE installation, except for `system_images` configuration. The `system_images` option is not supported when creating a cluster with the Rancher UI or API.
>**Note:** In Rancher v2.0.5 and v2.0.6, the names of services in the Config File (YAML) should contain underscores only: `kube_api` and `kube_controller`.
- To edit an RKE config file directly from the Rancher UI, click **Edit as YAML**.
- To read from an existing RKE file, click **Read from a file**.
![image](/img/cluster-options-yaml.png)
The structure of the config file is different depending on your version of Rancher. Below are example config files for Rancher v2.0.0-v2.2.x and for Rancher v2.3.0+.
### Config File Structure in Rancher v2.3.0+
RKE (Rancher Kubernetes Engine) is the tool that Rancher uses to provision Kubernetes clusters. Rancher's cluster config files used to have the same structure as [RKE config files,](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/example-yamls/) but the structure changed so that in Rancher, RKE cluster config items are separated from non-RKE config items. Therefore, configuration for your cluster needs to be nested under the `rancher_kubernetes_engine_config` directive in the cluster config file. Cluster config files created with earlier versions of Rancher will need to be updated for this format. An example cluster config file is included below.

The table below indicates what DNS provider is deployed by default. See [RKE documentation on DNS provider](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/dns/) for more information how to configure a different DNS provider. CoreDNS can only be used on Kubernetes v1.12.0 and higher.
| Rancher version | Kubernetes version | Default DNS provider |
|-------------|--------------------|----------------------|
| v2.2.5 and higher | v1.14.0 and higher | CoreDNS |
| v2.2.5 and higher | v1.13.x and lower | kube-dns |
| v2.2.4 and lower | any | kube-dns |
# Rancher specific parameters
_Available as of v2.2.0_
Besides the RKE config file options, there are also Rancher specific settings that can be configured in the Config File (YAML):
### docker_root_dir
See [Docker Root Directory](#docker-root-directory).
### enable_cluster_monitoring
Option to enable or disable [Cluster Monitoring](monitoring-alerting/legacy/monitoring/cluster-monitoring/).
### enable_network_policy
Option to enable or disable Project Network Isolation.
### local_cluster_auth_endpoint
See [Authorized Cluster Endpoint](#authorized-cluster-endpoint).
Example:
```yaml
local_cluster_auth_endpoint:
enabled: true
fqdn: "FQDN"
ca_certs: "BASE64_CACERT"
```
### Custom Network Plug-in
_Available as of v2.2.4_
You can add a custom network plug-in by using the [user-defined add-on functionality](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/user-defined-add-ons/) of RKE. You define any add-on that you want deployed after the Kubernetes cluster is deployed.
There are two ways that you can specify an add-on:
- [In-line Add-ons](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/user-defined-add-ons/#in-line-add-ons)
- [Referencing YAML Files for Add-ons](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/user-defined-add-ons/#referencing-yaml-files-for-add-ons)
For an example of how to configure a custom network plug-in by editing the `cluster.yml`, refer to the [RKE documentation.](https://rancher.com/docs/rke/latest/en/config-options/add-ons/network-plugins/custom-network-plugin-example)

Rancher deploys an agent on each node to communicate with the node. This pages describes the options that can be passed to the agent. To use these options, you will need to [create a cluster with custom nodes](../../../../pages-for-subheaders/use-existing-nodes.md) and add the options to the generated `docker run` command when adding a node.
For an overview of how Rancher communicates with downstream clusters using node agents, refer to the [architecture section.](../../../../pages-for-subheaders/rancher-manager-architecture.md#3-node-agents)
## General options
| Parameter | Environment variable | Description |
| ---------- | -------------------- | ----------- |
| `--server` | `CATTLE_SERVER` | The configured Rancher `server-url` setting which the agent connects to |
| `--token` | `CATTLE_TOKEN` | Token that is needed to register the node in Rancher |
| `--ca-checksum` | `CATTLE_CA_CHECKSUM` | The SHA256 checksum of the configured Rancher `cacerts` setting to validate |
| `--node-name` | `CATTLE_NODE_NAME` | Override the hostname that is used to register the node (defaults to `hostname -s`) |
| `--label` | `CATTLE_NODE_LABEL` | Add node labels to the node. For multiple labels, pass additional `--label` options. (`--label key=value`) |
| `--taints` | `CATTLE_NODE_TAINTS` | Add node taints to the node. For multiple taints, pass additional `--taints` options. (`--taints key=value:effect`) |
## Role options
| Parameter | Environment variable | Description |
| ---------- | -------------------- | ----------- |
| `--all-roles` | `ALL=true` | Apply all roles (`etcd`,`controlplane`,`worker`) to the node |
| `--etcd` | `ETCD=true` | Apply the role `etcd` to the node |
| `--controlplane` | `CONTROL=true` | Apply the role `controlplane` to the node |
| `--worker` | `WORKER=true` | Apply the role `worker` to the node |
## IP address options
| Parameter | Environment variable | Description |
| ---------- | -------------------- | ----------- |
| `--address` | `CATTLE_ADDRESS` | The IP address the node will be registered with (defaults to the IP used to reach `8.8.8.8`) |
| `--internal-address` | `CATTLE_INTERNAL_ADDRESS` | The IP address used for inter-host communication on a private network |
### Dynamic IP address options
For automation purposes, you can't have a specific IP address in a command as it has to be generic to be used for every node. For this, we have dynamic IP address options. They are used as a value to the existing IP address options. This is supported for `--address` and `--internal-address`.
| Value | Example | Description |
| ---------- | -------------------- | ----------- |
| Interface name | `--address eth0` | The first configured IP address will be retrieved from the given interface |

| `dopublic` | `--address dopublic` | Value retrieved from `http://169.254.169.254/metadata/v1/interfaces/public/0/ipv4/address` will be used |
| `azprivate` | `--address azprivate` | Value retrieved from `http://169.254.169.254/metadata/instance/network/interface/0/ipv4/ipAddress/0/privateIpAddress?api-version=2017-08-01&format=text` will be used |
| `azpublic` | `--address azpublic` | Value retrieved from `http://169.254.169.254/metadata/instance/network/interface/0/ipv4/ipAddress/0/publicIpAddress?api-version=2017-08-01&format=text` will be used |
| `gceinternal` | `--address gceinternal` | Value retrieved from `http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/network-interfaces/0/ip` will be used |
| `gceexternal` | `--address gceexternal` | Value retrieved from `http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/network-interfaces/0/access-configs/0/external-ip` will be used |
