Overview

Fleet is a GitOps engine that is a core component of the Rancher Kubernetes management platform. It is designed to manage deployments across a large number of clusters, up to a million. Fleet allows you to define application and configuration bundles in Git repositories and then target them to specific clusters or groups of clusters based on labels. It manages the full lifecycle of these deployments, ensuring consistency across the fleet.

✨ Key Features

  • Manages up to a million clusters
  • GitOps-based deployment from Git, Helm, or directories
  • Target clusters dynamically using labels
  • Integrated into the Rancher UI
  • Can be used standalone

🎯 Key Differentiators

  • Designed for massive scale (up to a million clusters)
  • Tight integration with the Rancher management platform
  • Simple, bundle-based approach to defining deployments

Unique Value: Provides a highly scalable, integrated GitOps solution for users of the Rancher platform.

🎯 Use Cases (3)

Managing configuration and application deployments for a large number of clusters GitOps for edge computing scenarios Standardizing deployments within a Rancher-managed environment

✅ Best For

  • Deploying and managing applications consistently across a large, distributed fleet of Kubernetes clusters, such as in retail or edge computing.

💡 Check With Vendor

Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:

  • Users not using Rancher who prefer a more established standalone tool like Argo CD or Flux.
