Hi there, how can we select containerd as the runtime on clusters provisioned by rke? I don’t see any option via the console. Thanks

you can’t. RKE only uses docker. If you want containerd, use RKE2 or K3s.

We are using the rancher management console for provisioning clusters, can rke2 clusters be provisioned from that? https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/rancher-stable/rancher
Looks like an rke2 management console can’t be installed via helm and run on a k8s cluster? https://docs.rke2.io/install/methods

RKE2 is a Kubernetes distribution, as is RKE. Rancher can be deployed to a RKE2 cluster, same as any other.
On recent versions of Rancher, you can also provision downstream RKE2 or K3s clusters. There’s a check box to select RKE2/K3s instead of RKE when you go into the cluster provisioning ui
I’m not really sure what you mean by “an rke2 management console”
