5 Rancher Turtles #

See Rancher Turtles documentation at https://documentation.suse.com/cloudnative/cluster-api/

Rancher Turtles is a Kubernetes Operator that provides integration between Rancher Manager and Cluster API (CAPI) with the aim of bringing full CAPI support to Rancher

5.1 Key Features of Rancher Turtles #

Automatically import CAPI clusters into Rancher, by installing the Rancher Cluster Agent in CAPI provisioned clusters.
Install and configure CAPI controller dependencies via the CAPI Operator.
Manage installed CAPI provider dependencies via the CAPIProvider API

5.2 Rancher Turtles use in SUSE Telco Cloud #

The SUSE Telco Cloud stack provides a rancher-turtles-providers helm chart that enables certain CAPI providers via the CAPIProvider API:

RKE2 Control Plane and Bootstrap provider
Metal3 (Chapter 8, Metal³) infrastructure provider
Metal3 (Chapter 8, Metal³) IPAM provider (currently not supported)
Fleet addon provider

Only the default providers installed via the wrapper chart are supported - alternative Control Plane, Bootstrap and Infrastructure providers are not currently supported as part of the SUSE Telco Cloud stack.

5.3 Installing Rancher Turtles #

Since Rancher 2.13, Rancher Turtles is enabled by default when installing Rancher.

Rancher Turtles Providers may be installed by following the Metal3 Quickstart (Chapter 1, BMC automated deployments with Metal³) guide, or the Management Cluster (Chapter 32, Setting up the management cluster) documentation.
