ovhcloud cloud managed-rancher create

Create a new Rancher service

Synopsis

Use this command to create a managed Rancher service in the given public cloud project. There are three ways to define the creation parameters:

Using only CLI flags:

ovhcloud cloud managed-rancher create --name MyNewRancher --plan OVHCLOUD_EDITION --version 2.11.3
Using a configuration file:

First you can generate an example of installation file using the following command:

ovhcloud cloud managed-rancher create --init-file ./params.json

You will be able to choose from several examples of parameters. Once an example has been selected, the content is written in the given file. After editing the file to set the correct creation parameters, run:

ovhcloud cloud managed-rancher create --from-file ./params.json

Note that you can also pipe the content of the parameters file, like the following:

cat ./params.json | ovhcloud cloud managed-rancher create

In both cases, you can override the parameters in the given file using command line flags, for example:

ovhcloud cloud managed-rancher create --from-file ./params.json --name NameOverriden

3. Using your default text editor:

ovhcloud cloud managed-rancher create --editor

You will be able to choose from several examples of parameters. Once an example has been selected, the CLI will open your default text editor to update the parameters. When saving the file, the creation will start.

Note that it is also possible to override values in the presented examples using command line flags like the following:

ovhcloud cloud managed-rancher create --editor --region BHS5

ovhcloud cloud managed-rancher create [flags]
