When you create a cluster [hosted by an infrastructure provider](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md), [node templates](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md#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.
|
||||
|
||||
Node templates can use cloud credentials to access the credential information required to provision nodes in the infrastructure providers. The same cloud credential can be used by multiple node templates. By using a cloud credential, you do not have to re-enter access keys for the same cloud provider. Cloud credentials are stored as Kubernetes secrets.
|
||||
|
||||
Cloud credentials are only used by node templates if there are fields marked as `password`. The default `active` node drivers have their account access fields marked as `password`, but there may be some `inactive` node drivers, which are not using them yet. These node drivers will not use cloud credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
You can create cloud credentials in two contexts:
|
||||
|
||||
- [During creation of a node template](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md#node-templates) for a cluster.

1. Based on the selected cloud credential type, enter the required values to authenticate with the infrastructure provider.

1. Click **Create**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** The cloud credential is created and can immediately be used to [create node templates](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md#node-templates).

## Updating a Cloud Credential
|
||||
|
||||
When access credentials are changed or compromised, updating a cloud credential allows you to rotate those credentials while keeping the same node template.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
||||
1. Click **Cloud Credentials**.
|
||||
1. Choose the cloud credential you want to edit and click the **⋮ > Edit Config**.
|
||||
1. Update the credential information and click **Save**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** The cloud credential is updated with the new access credentials. All existing node templates using this cloud credential will automatically use the updated information whenever [new nodes are added](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md).
|
||||
**Result:** The cloud credential is updated with the new access credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
## Deleting a Cloud Credential
|
||||
|
||||
In order to delete cloud credentials, there must not be any node template associated with it. If you are unable to delete the cloud credential, [delete any node templates](manage-node-templates.md#deleting-a-node-template) that are still associated to that cloud credential.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
||||
1. Click **Cloud Credentials**.
|
||||
1. You can either individually delete a cloud credential or bulk delete.

When you provision a cluster [hosted by an infrastructure provider](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md), [node templates](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md#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. You can create node templates in two contexts:
|
||||
|
||||
- While [provisioning a node pool cluster](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md).
|
||||
- At any time, from your [user settings](user-settings.md).
|
||||
|
||||
When you create a node template, it is bound to your user profile. Node templates cannot be shared among users. You can delete stale node templates that you no longer user from your user settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a Node Template
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
||||
1. Click **RKE1 Configuration > Node Templates**.
|
||||
1. Click **Add Template**.
|
||||
1. Select one of the cloud providers available. Then follow the instructions on screen to configure the template.
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** The template is configured. You can use the template later when you [provision a node pool cluster](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating a Node Template
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
||||
1. Click **RKE1 Configuration > Node Templates**.
|
||||
1. Choose the node template that you want to edit and click the **⋮ > Edit**.
|

The default `active` [node drivers](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/authentication-permissions-and-global-configuration/about-provisioning-drivers/manage-node-drivers.md) and any node driver, that has fields marked as `password`, are required to use [cloud credentials](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md#cloud-credentials).
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
1. Edit the required information and click **Save**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** The node template is updated. All node pools using this node template will automatically use the updated information when new nodes are added.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cloning Node Templates
|
||||
|
||||
When creating new node templates from your user settings, you can clone an existing template and quickly update its settings rather than creating a new one from scratch. Cloning templates saves you the hassle of re-entering access keys for the cloud provider.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
||||
1. Click **RKE1 Configuration > Node Templates**.
|
||||
1. Find the template you want to clone. Then select **⋮ > Clone**.
|
||||
1. Complete the rest of the form.
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** The template is cloned and configured. You can use the template later when you [provision a node pool cluster](../../how-to-guides/new-user-guides/launch-kubernetes-with-rancher/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider/use-new-nodes-in-an-infra-provider.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Deleting a Node Template
|
||||
|
||||
When you no longer use a node template, you can delete it from your user settings.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
||||
1. Click **RKE1 Configuration > Node Templates**.
|
||||
1. Select one or more template from the list. Then click **Delete**. Confirm the delete when prompted.
