-### The Linode Node Driver for Rancher
+### Using Node Drivers and Cluster Drivers
 
 Rancher includes two kinds of integrations with hosting providers:
 
--   A [*cluster driver*](https://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v2.x/en/admin-settings/drivers/cluster-drivers/) allows Rancher to create and administer a cloud host-launched Kubernetes cluster. In a host-launched Kubernetes cluster, your hosting platform operates the new cluster's control plane and etcd components, while you provision and configure your worker nodes (via Rancher as well).

In a host-launched Kubernetes cluster, your hosting platform operates the new cluster's control plane and etcd components, while you provision and configure your worker nodes (via Rancher as well).

Rancher will directly provision your control plane and etcd nodes along with your worker nodes. Your cloud host does not manage your control plane and etcd components.
 
+## Deploy an LKE Cluster on Rancher
+
+The (Linode Kubernetes Engine)[https://www.linode.com/docs/products/compute/kubernetes/] is a fully-managed orchestration Engine that can simplify the management of Kubernetes on Linode, capable of being supported by the Rancher platform. If an unmanaged option for Kubernetes is preferred, skip to the Deploying an [Unmanaged Kubernetes Cluster](/docs/guides/how-to-deploy-kubernetes-on-linode-with-rancher-2-x/#the-linode-node-driver-for-rancher) section.
+
+### The LKE Cluster Driver for Rancher
+
+In order to use LKE on Rancher, the LKE Cluster Driver must be manually activated.
+
+1. Click on **Tools** from the main navigation bar and select **Drivers** from the dropdown menu.
+
+    ![Rancher Drivers menu option highlighted](drivers-menu-option.png "Select the Drivers option from the Tools dropdown menu")
+
+1. Find the **Linode LKE** cluster driver, check the box next to it to select it, and click on the **Activate** button.
+
+    ![cluster-driver-activate](cluster-driver-activate.png "Activate the Linode Cluster Driver")
+
+### Creating an LKE Cluster
+
+Once Rancher been installed and the cluster driver has been activated, a new LKE Cluster can be created at any time:
+
+1.  Return to the home page by hovering over the **Global** dropdown menu in the main navigation bar and then clicking the **Global** menu item:
+
+    ![Rancher return to the global view](navigate-back-to-global-view.gif "Navigate back to the home page by selecting the Global menu option in the main navigation bar")
+
+1.  Click on the **Add Cluster** button. The **Add Cluster** form will appear.
+
+1. Under the `Hosted Kubernetes Provider` option, find and click on the `LKE` button.
+
+    ![LKE Hosted Kubernetes](lke-hosted-kubernetes.png "LKE hosted Kubernetes")
+
+1. The `Add Cluster` menu will appear. Enter a name to be used as an identifier for the cluster in the `Cluster Name` field.
+
+1. In the `Access Token` field, enter your Linode APIv4 token and click on the `Proceed to Cluster Configuration` button.
+
+   ![Cluster Name Token](cluster-name-token.png "Cluster Name Token")
+
+1. Select the `Region` where the new cluster to be hosted, the `Kubernetes Version` the cluster will use, and any `tags` you would like to apply, along with any Cloud Manager [tags](/docs/quick-answers/linode-platform/tags-and-groups/) you’d like to apply to your nodes. Click on the `Proceed to Node Pool Selection` button to proceed.
+
+    ![Tags Regions and Version](tags-region-version-lke.png "Tags Region and Version")
+
+1.  A *node pool* is Rancher’s terminology for creating the nodes (Linodes) that form a cluster.  In this menu, a user can specify how many Linodes should be in a node pool,and a cost and resource description will appear for a single Node in the pool. In the `Select Type` dropdown menu, select the type of Linode you'd like to use for a single node pool, and in the `Count` field, enter the number of individual Linodes to be used in a single pool. In this example, a 3 Node Cluster is being created, using Linode's 4 GB plan. While a single node in the cluster costs only $20 per month, the combined sum of the resources being created will cost $60 per month.
+
+    ![LKE Cluster Node Pools](lke-cluster-node-pools.png "LKE Cluster Node Pools")
+
+1. When all the desired Nodes and Node Pools have been added, click on the `Create` button to accept the creation and configuration of the new LKE cluster.
+
+Once the LKE cluster has been successfully created, skip to the [Explore the New Cluster](#explore-the-new-cluster) step to proceed.

 The [CCM](https://github.com/linode/linode-cloud-controller-manager) (Cloud Controller Manager) and [CSI](https://github.com/linode/linode-blockstorage-csi-driver) (Container Storage Interface) are Kubernetes addons published by Linode. These addons provide additional integrations with the Linode cloud platform. Specifically, you can use them to create NodeBalancers, DNS records, and Block Storage Volumes.
