Rancher Outscale Quick Start Guide	Read this step by step Rancher Outscale guide to quickly deploy a Rancher server with a single-node downstream Kubernetes cluster attached.

The following steps will quickly deploy a Rancher server on Outscale in a single-node K3s Kubernetes cluster, with a single-node downstream Kubernetes cluster attached.

:::note

The intent of these guides is to quickly launch a sandbox that you can use to evaluate Rancher. These guides are not intended for production environments. For comprehensive setup instructions, see Installation.

:::

Prerequisites

:::caution

Deploying to Outscale will incur charges.

:::

Outscale Account: You will require an account on Outscale as this is where the server and cluster will run.
Outscale Access Key: Use these instructions to create an Outscale Access Key if you don't have one.
Terraform: Used to provision the server and cluster in Outscale.

Getting Started

Clone Rancher Quickstart to a folder using git clone https://github.com/rancher/quickstart.
Go into the Outscale folder containing the Terraform files by executing cd quickstart/rancher/outscale.
Rename the terraform.tfvars.example file to terraform.tfvars.
Edit terraform.tfvars and customize the following variables:
- access_key_id - Outscale access key
- secret_key_id - Outscale secret key
- rancher_server_admin_password - Admin password for created Rancher server (minimum 12 characters)
Optional: Modify optional variables within terraform.tfvars. See the Quickstart Readme and the Outscale Quickstart Readme for more information. Suggestions include:
- region - Outscale region, choose the closest instead of the default (eu-west-2)
- prefix - Prefix for all created resources
- instance_type - Instance type, minimum required is tinav3.c2r4p3
Run terraform init.

To initiate the creation of the environment, run terraform apply --auto-approve. Then wait for output similar to the following:

Apply complete! Resources: 21 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

Outputs:

rancher_node_ip = xx.xx.xx.xx
rancher_server_url = https://rancher.xx.xx.xx.xx.sslip.io
workload_node_ip = yy.yy.yy.yy

Paste the rancher_server_url from the output above into the browser. Log in when prompted (default username is admin, use the password set in rancher_server_admin_password).
ssh to the Rancher Server using the id_rsa key generated in quickstart/rancher/outscale.

Result

Two Kubernetes clusters are deployed into your Outscale account, one running Rancher Server and the other ready for experimentation deployments. Please note that while this setup is a great way to explore Rancher functionality, a production setup should follow our high availability setup guidelines. SSH keys for the VMs are auto-generated and stored in the module directory.

What's Next?

Use Rancher to create a deployment. For more information, see Creating Deployments.

Destroying the Environment

From the quickstart/rancher/outscale folder, execute terraform destroy --auto-approve.
Wait for confirmation that all resources have been destroyed.
