<p>All is in the title: Is RKE (from Rancher) production ready? </p>

<p>I tried to google it without success.</p>

<p>And is there any best practices to set up a production cluster with it?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>This question is rather hard to answer without knowing your acceptance criteria. What is production readiness from your point of view? </p>

<ul>
<li>High availability? Can be achived</li>
<li>(Enterprise) Customer Support? Can be requested</li>
</ul>

<p>Are you concerned about the conformance of the k8s deployment through rke? Check <a href="https://www.cncf.io/certification/software-conformance/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.cncf.io/certification/software-conformance/</a> - Rancher is listed there.
Maybe give <a href="https://github.com/heptio/sonobuoy" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/heptio/sonobuoy</a> a try.</p>

<p>Cheers</p>
