Catalog Apps

Many popular applications will create Helm charts that simplify launching production ready services. Rancher offers an easy way to access some of these, they call them Catalog Apps. Catalog Apps also offer you a way to keep the application up to date. This example will walk you through launching a production class MariaDB instance with one master and two slaves.
