This section lists the different ways to set up and run Kubernetes. When you install Kubernetes, choose an installation type based on: ease of maintenance, security, control, available resources, and expertise required to operate and manage a cluster.

You can download Kubernetes to deploy a Kubernetes cluster on a local machine, into the cloud, or for your own datacenter.

Several Kubernetes components such as kube-apiserver or kube-proxy can also be deployed as container images within the cluster.

If you don't want to manage a Kubernetes cluster yourself, you could pick a managed service, including certified platforms. There are also other standardized and custom solutions across a wide range of cloud and bare metal environments.
