Overview

The CAPI appliance provides an out-of-the-box solution for managing Kubernetes clusters using Rancher and OpenNebula. It is designed to simplify the deployment and lifecycle management of OpenNebula CAPI RKE2 clusters by leveraging Rancher’s intuitive web interface.

This appliance comes preconfigured with Rancher running on a lightweight K3s cluster, along with the Turtles extension. It is fully integrated to support OpenNebula as an infrastructure provider via the Cluster API provider for OpenNebula (CAPONE).
