We will make the necessary settings in Rancher to run the Springboot web application consisting of 10 microservices in this cluster. We will create a “node template” for the cluster, then introduce the credentials required for the Rancher to access AWS resources, then assign credentials to the node template, and examine the structure of the cluster. We will do it all step by step.

Topics we will cover:

1. Creating AWS cloud credentials

2. Creating a Node template and assigning the credentials to the Node template

3. Creating a cluster consisting of 3 nodes using the Rancher “cluster management” menu

4. Examining the structure of the cluster

5. Creating Namespace

6. As a result
