Not all of us have unlimited budgets for infinite nodes, and even if you do, it's important to spend wisely. If you're running Rancher in a non-production environment and want to start with a single node now and upgrade to an HA configuration later, you can do this with RKE. Once a cluster is up and running, make the best use of your available storage by deploying block-level replication with OpenEBS within your Kubernetes clusters.

In this session, Rancher Senior Solutions Architect Adrian Goins joins forces with OpenEBS to:

• Explore why people overengineer solutions and how to avoid it
• Explain how cloud providers encourage complexity
• Present solutions for managing risk and controlling cost
• Demonstrate the benefits of container-attached storage
