|
|||
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 deploy a Kubernetes cluster on a local machine, cloud, on-prem datacenter, or choose a managed Kubernetes cluster. There are also custom solutions across a wide range of cloud providers, or bare metal environments.
|
||||
You can [download Kubernetes](/releases/download/) to deploy a Kubernetes cluster
|
||||
on a local machine, into the cloud, or for your own datacenter.
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't want to manage a Kubernetes cluster yourself, you could pick a managed service, including
|
||||
[certified platforms](/docs/setup/production-environment/turnkey-solutions/).
|
||||
There are also other standardized and custom solutions across a wide range of cloud and
|
||||
bare metal environments.

## Learning environment
|

|
||||
If you're learning Kubernetes, use the tools supported by the Kubernetes community, or tools in the ecosystem to set up a Kubernetes cluster on a local machine.

## Production environment
|
||||
|
||||
When evaluating a solution for a production environment, consider which aspects of operating a Kubernetes cluster (or _abstractions_) you want to manage yourself or offload to a provider.
|
||||
When evaluating a solution for a
|
||||
[production environment](/docs/setup/production-environment/), consider which aspects of
|
||||
operating a Kubernetes cluster (or _abstractions_) you want to manage yourself and which you
|
||||
prefer to hand off to a provider.

|
||||
[Kubernetes Partners](https://kubernetes.io/partners/#conformance) includes a list of [Certified Kubernetes](https://github.com/cncf/k8s-conformance/#certified-kubernetes) providers.
|

For a cluster you're managing yourself, the officially supported tool
|
||||
for deploying Kubernetes is [kubeadm](/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/).

- [Download Kubernetes](/releases/download/)
|

- Download and [install tools](/docs/tasks/tools/) including `kubectl`
|

- Select a [container runtime](/docs/setup/production-environment/container-runtimes/) for your new cluster
|

Kubernetes is designed for its {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="control-plane" text="control plane" >}} to
|
||||
run on Linux. Within your cluster you can run applications on Linux or other operating systems, including
|
||||
Windows.
