This configuration sets up 3-node Kubernetes cluster with two Rancher Server instances, which ensure that you can always access Rancher, even when one of your Rancher Servers is down. Install Rancher in an HA configuration using the Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE). RKE is Rancher's own fast and light-weight Kubernetes installer.
