Rancher-1: Creating the Rancher server with manual installation or using a terraform file and Running Rancher in it.

In 1st part of this series, we will learn the basic concepts of Rancher, and then we will create a “Rancher server” using a terraform file, and also we will learn to do manual installation it too. Finally, we will deploy Rancher into a cluster in the Rancher server and examine the created cluster structure using Rancher menus. We will do them all step by step. In 2nd part of this article: “Deploying microservices java application to the cluster created with Rancher using Helm”. We will do this step in the following order;
Creating node template,
Creating AWS cloud credentials and assigning them to node template,
Creating a cluster consisting of 3 nodes using the Rancher “cluster management” menu.
