## Creating Kubernetes clusters using the Harvester node driver

You can launch a Kubernetes cluster from Rancher using the [Harvester node driver](./node/node-driver.md). When Rancher deploys Kubernetes onto these nodes, you can choose between Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) or RKE2 distributions.

Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE) will reach the end of its life on **July 31, 2025**. Harvester **v1.6.0** and later versions will not support RKE. Using RKE2, which provides a more secure and efficient environment, is recommended.

One benefit of installing Kubernetes on node pools hosted by the node driver is that if a node loses connectivity with the cluster, Rancher can automatically create another node to join the cluster to ensure that the count of the node pool is as expected.
