+title: ARM64 Platform Support (Experimental)
+weight: 7600
+---
+
+_Available as of v2.2.0_
+
+For the ARM64 platform, Rancher currently supports the following two features:  
+
+- Running Rancher Server on ARM64 platform
+- Using Rancher to manage ARM64 Platform Kubernetes
+    - Import ARM64 Kubernetes clusters
+    - Create ARM64 Kubernetes clusters with custom nodes
+
+>**Notes:**
+>The `Monitoring`,`Alerts and Notifiers`,`Pipelines`,`Logging` features are currently not supported in the ARM64 platform. 
+>These features will be supported for the ARM64 platform in the future updates.  
+
+>Now only `Flannel` network is supported to create custom Kubernetes clusters on ARM64 platform.  
+>Now Rancher only supports Kubernetes version `v1.12` and above on ARM64 platform.
+
+## Running Rancher Server on ARM64 platform
+
+The Rancher image is published using the [docker manifest](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/manifest/), so whether on the AMD64 platform or the ARM64 platform, you can use the same image name and tag to install Rancher.  
+
+About how to install Rancher, please refer to the [Installation]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/installation/) section.

+
+### Import ARM64 Kubernetes clusters
+
+You can import an existing ARM64 platform Kubernetes cluster and then manage it using Rancher.  
+The rancher agent image is published using the [docker manifest](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/manifest/), so when you are importing clusters you don't need to change any configurations.
+
+About how to import Kubernetes clusters, please refer to the [Importing Kubernetes Clusters]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/imported-clusters/) section.
+
+### Create ARM64 Kubernetes clusters with custom nodes
+
+Rancher supports creating ARM64 platform Kubernetes clusters with your custom nodes. 
+All the images which Rancher using to create Kubernetes clusters are published using the [docker manifest](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/manifest/), so you don't need to change any configurations to create ARM64 platform Kubernetes clusters.
+
+>Now only `Flannel` network is supported to create custom Kubernetes clusters on ARM64 platform.  
+>Now Rancher only supports Kubernetes version `v1.12` and above on ARM64 platform.
+
+About how to create Kubernetes clusters with custom nodes, please refer to the [Creating a Cluster with Custom Nodes]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/custom-clusters/) section.
