rke
========

Rancher Kubernetes Engine, an extremely simple, lightning fast Kubernetes installer that works everywhere.

## Download

Please check the [releases](https://github.com/rancher/rke/releases/) page.

## Requirements
- All cluster nodes should have Docker version 1.12 installed.
- The SSH user used for node access must be a member of the `docker` group:
```bash
usermod -aG docker <user_name>
```

## Running
Standing up a Kubernetes is as simple as creating a `cluster.yml` configuration file and and running the command:
```bash
./rke up --config cluster.yml
```
##### Full `cluster.yaml` example
