Rancher Government Hauler simplifies the airgap experience without requiring operators to adopt a specific workflow. Hauler simplifies the airgapping process, by representing assets (images, charts, files, etc...) as content and collections to allow operators to easily fetch, store, package, and distribute these assets with declarative manifests or through the command line.

Hauler does this by storing contents and collections as OCI Artifacts and allows operators to serve contents and collections with an embedded registry and fileserver. Additionally, Hauler has the ability to store and inspect various non-image OCI Artifacts.

For more information, please review the Hauler Documentation!
