End-to-End Kubernetes with Rancher, RKE2, K3s, Fleet, Longhorn, and NeuVector

Cluster Agent

To connect to the Kubernetes API of a cluster, Rancher deploys the cattle-cluster-agent using a Deployment resource in the cattle-system namespace. The cattle-cluster-agent is responsible for managing the cluster resources and communicating with the Rancher Manager.

This is an example of a cattle-cluster-agent Deployment resource:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: cattle-cluster-agent
  namespace: cattle-system
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: cattle-cluster-agent
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: cattle-cluster-agent
    spec:
      containers
