What is Rancher Desktop?

Rancher Desktop is an open-source desktop application for Mac and
Windows. It provides Kubernetes and container management. You can
choose the version of Kubernetes you want to run. You can build,
push, pull, and run container images. The container images you build
can be run by Kubernetes immediately without the need for a registry.

Why Rancher Desktop?

Kubernetes Made Simple

Getting started with Kubernetes on your desktop can be a project.
Especially if you want to match the version of Kubernetes you run
locally to the one you run in production. Rancher Desktop makes it as
easy as setting a preference.

Built On Proven Projects

Rancher Desktop leverages proven projects to do the dirty work. That
includes containerd, k3s, kubectl, and more. These projects have
demonstrated themselves as trustworthy and provide a foundation you
can trust.

Coupled Container Management

Container management to build, push, and pull images and run
containers. It uses the same container runtime as Kubernetes. Built
images are immediately available to use in your local workloads
without any pushing, pulling, or copying.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

How it Works

Rancher Desktop is an electron based application that wraps other
tools while itself providing the user experience to create a simple
experience. On MacOS Rancher Desktop leverages a virtual machine to
run containerd and Kubernetes. Windows Subsystem for Linux v2 is
leveraged for Windows systems. All you need to do is download and run
the application.
