Hosted Kubernetes clusters: If you created the cluster in a cloud-hosted Kubernetes provider such as EKS, GKE, or AKS, you can continue to manage the cluster using your provider's cloud credentials.

Registered clusters: The cluster will be unaffected and you can access the cluster using the same methods that you did before the cluster was registered into Rancher.

The capability to access a downstream cluster without Rancher depends on the type of cluster and the way that the cluster was created.

If the Rancher server is deleted, how do I access my downstream clusters? If Rancher is ever deleted or unrecoverable, all workloads in the downstream Kubernetes clusters managed by Rancher will continue to function as normal. If the Rancher server is deleted, what happens to the workloads in my downstream clusters?

This page is intended to answer questions about what happens if you don't want Rancher anymore, if you don't want a cluster to be managed by Rancher anymore, or if the Rancher server is deleted.
