12/06/2023, 11:54 AMDo you mean using CAPI to manage the actual Rancher Manager cluster?

12/06/2023, 1:38 PMYes, a CAPI management cluster is introduced to manage the lifecycle of the rancher manager cluster, especially upgrading the rancher manager cluster node images which SUC doesn't handle.

12/06/2023, 1:48 PMWhat's the Golden path to take an existing RKE2 rancher manager cluster say on ec2 nodes and make it manageable via say a CAPI kind cluster?

There is no general/recommended way to adopt an existing cluster with CAPI at the moment. Some people have managed to get it working for EKS/AKS clusters. Its an often asked for feature....it is interesting. Its probably technically possible if you craft the manifests in the right way etc but it feels like a world of pain.

12/06/2023, 2:23 PMSome companies that use CAPI to provision clusters use the "self managing model", where every cluster is a CAPI management cluster that only contains 1 cluster definition which is for itself.

12/06/2023, 4:02 PMSince a Rancher Manager cluster running on RKE2 on CAPI-supported infrastructure is a specific scoped configuration, I was hoping the team might be able to provide additional migration guidance to address this particular case.
