- [Custom Nodes]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/custom-nodes/):
For use cases where you want to provision bare-metal servers, on-premise virtual machines, or a cloud provider not included in Node Pool use cases.
## Node Pools
Rancher calls <a href='https://docs.docker.com/machine/' target='_blank'>Docker Machine</a> to provision nodes from major IaaS providers in combination with Rancher RKE to provision a new Kubernetes cluster quickly and easily, all from the Rancher UI. There's no need to log directly into your infrastructure provider's portal.
Out-of-the-box, Rancher includes node pool options for the infrastructure providers that follow, although you can add options by adding or creating [Node Drivers](#node-drivers).
- Amazon EC2
- Microsoft Azure
- DigitalOcean
- VMWare Vsphere
## Custom Nodes
Use Rancher to create a Kubernetes cluster on your on-premise bare metal servers. This option creates a cluster using RKE, which is Rancher's own lightweight Kubernetes installer. In addition to bare metal servers, RKE can also create clusters on _any_ IaaS providers by integrating with node drivers.
To use this option you'll need access to servers you intend to use as your Kubernetes cluster. Provision each server according to Rancher requirements, which includes some hardware specifications and Docker. After you install Docker on each server, run the command provided in the Rancher UI to turn each server into a Kubernetes node.
You can create provider-hosted nodes from the Rancher UI by creating a node template. After providing Rancher with an access token from the vendor you're using, Rancher prompts you for specifications that it will send to your provider by API. The provider than provisions your nodes based on the template.
