RKE2, also known as RKE Government, is Rancher's next-generation Kubernetes distribution.

It is a fully conformant Kubernetes distribution that focuses on security and compliance within the U.S. Federal Government sector.

To meet these goals, RKE2 does the following:

• Provides defaults and configuration options that allow clusters to pass the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark with minimal operator intervention
• Enables FIPS 140-2 compliance
• Supports SELinux policy and Multi-Category Security (MCS) label enforcement
• Recompiles, repackages, and scans components for CVEs using trivy in our build pipeline

RKE2 also brings together the best aspects of Rancher's RKE1 and K3s distributions. For more on this, check out our docs.

Packaged Component Versions

Known Issues

• Helm-controller sometimes leave behind failed install job pods with reason "NodeAffinity". This is due to an upstream issue. This is harmless as the pods will be recreated and eventually succeed, but the failed pods will remain until manually deleted. #127

These items will be addressed in an upcoming release.
