Rancher Government Solutions (RGS), today announces the arrival of Paul Smith, formerly the Senior Vice President and General Manager of the North American Public Sector at Red Hat, as Acting Chief Executive Officer for RGS. Lynne Chamberlain has decided to retire as the current Chief Executive Officer.

Data security is becoming increasingly important to our customers. One of the great features of Longhorn is the ability to encrypt the volumes at rest. This blog is all about how to do that. Encrypting data volumes at rest means the data on the nodes is encrypted. For added security, we will want at least three nodes for high availability.

Rancher Government Solutions (RGS), the leader in open source, cloud-native container management, announced today the launch of its highly available and fully supported deployment of Rancher Kubernetes Engine 2 (RKE2) and Rancher Manager on AWS GovCloud Marketplace, to help Federal customers accelerate their Kubernetes journey in the cloud. This offering is immediately available for procurement on AWS GovCloud.

In this repo, we're going to cover the creation of a RKE2 cluster into Harvester using an airgapped process (aka Bootstrap!). We'll follow that up by installing Rancher on top of RKE2. We're going to do all of this using Terraform. Terraform allows us to declaratively define our environment in code and then create that environment in a straight-forward (and sustainable) way.
