title: Tips for Running Rancher
---
<head>
<link rel="canonical" href="https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com//reference-guides/best-practices/rancher-server/tips-for-running-rancher"/>
</head>
This guide is geared toward use cases where Rancher is used to manage downstream Kubernetes clusters. The high-availability setup is intended to prevent losing access to downstream clusters if the Rancher server is not available.
A high-availability Kubernetes installation, defined as an installation of Rancher on a Kubernetes cluster with at least three nodes, should be used in any production installation of Rancher, as well as any installation deemed "important." Multiple Rancher instances running on multiple nodes ensure high availability that cannot be accomplished with a single node environment.
