When creating a vSphere cluster Rancher first provisions the specified amount of virtual machines by communicating with the vCenter API. Then it installs Kubernetes on top of them. A vSphere cluster may consist of multiple groups of VMs with distinct properties, such as the amount of memory or the number of vCPUs.
