### Node Drivers
Out-of-the-box, Rancher provides support for creating clusters using many popular cloud providers: Amazon EC2, Azure, DigitalOcean, and so on. However, you may want to create a cluster using another cloud provider. In these scenarios, you can create a custom node driver for the cloud provider and point Rancher toward it.
For more information on creating node drivers, see [https://github.com/rancher/ui-driver-skel](https://github.com/rancher/ui-driver-skel).
#### Managing Node Drivers
>**Prerequisites:** To create, edit, or delete drivers, you need _one_ of the following permissions:
>
>- [Administrator Global Permissions]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/concepts/global-configuration/users-permissions-roles/#global-permissions)
>- [Custom Global Permissions]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/concepts/global-configuration/users-permissions-roles/#custom-global-permissions) with the [Manage Node Drivers]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/concepts/global-configuration/users-permissions-roles/#global-permissions-reference) role assigned.
## Adding Custom Node Drivers
If you create a cluster using a cloud provider that {{< product >}} doesn't support out-of-the-box, you may need to add the provider's drivers (or create them yourself) so that your nodes function properly.
1. From the **Global** view, select **Node Drivers** from the main menu.
2. Click **Add Node Driver**.
3. Complete the **Add Node Driver** form. Then click **Create**.
## Activating Node Drivers
Using the **Custom** option, you can create a cluster using virtually any cloud provider. However, by default, {{< product >}} only activates drivers for the most popular cloud providers. If you want to use another provider, you'll have to activate their drivers.
1. From the **Global** view, select **Node Drivers** from the main menu.
2. Select the inactive drivers that you want to use. Then click **Add Node Driver**.
### Node templates
You can create new clusters within Rancher using _node templates_. A node template is a virtual machine image used to create a Kubernetes cluster. While creating a cluster, Rancher will prompt you for an image to use as a template. Follow the directions on screen to create the template. During cluster creation, Rancher clones the template and installs different Kubernetes components.
After you add a node template to Rancher, its stored by the system so that you can use it when creating another cluster later. Node templates are bound to your login. After you add a template, you can remove them from your user profile.
