--- title: Kubernetes on Ubuntu --- {% capture overview %} There are multiple ways to run a Kubernetes cluster with Ubuntu. These pages explain how to deploy Kubernetes on Ubuntu on multiple public and private clouds, as well as bare metal. {% endcapture %} {% capture body %} ## Official Ubuntu Guides - [The Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes](https://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/kubernetes) Supports AWS, GCE, Azure, Joyent, OpenStack, VMWare, Bare Metal and localhost deployments. ### Quick Start [conjure-up](http://conjure-up.io/) provides the quickest way to deploy Kubernetes on Ubuntu for multiple clouds and bare metal. It provides a user-friendly UI that prompts you for cloud credentials and configuration options Available for Ubuntu 16.04 and newer: ``` sudo snap install conjure-up --classic # re-login may be required at that point if you just installed snap utility conjure-up kubernetes ``` As well as Homebrew for macOS: ``` brew install conjure-up conjure-up kubernetes ``` ### Operational Guides These are more in-depth guides for users choosing to run Kubernetes in production: - [Installation](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/installation) - [Validation](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/validation) - [Backups](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/backups) - [Upgrades](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/upgrades) - [Scaling](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/scaling) - [Logging](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/logging) - [Monitoring](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/monitoring) - [Networking](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/networking) - [Security](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/security) - [Storage](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/storage) - [Troubleshooting](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/troubleshooting) - [Decommissioning](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/decommissioning) - [Operational Considerations](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/operational-considerations) - [Glossary](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/glossary) ## Developer Guides - [Localhost using LXD](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/local) ## Community Ubuntu Guides - [Calico Configuration](/docs/getting-started-guides/ubuntu/calico) Please feel free to submit guides to this section. ## Where to find us We're normally following the following Slack channels: - [sig-cluster-lifecycle](https://kubernetes.slack.com/messages/sig-cluster-lifecycle/) - [sig-cluster-ops](https://kubernetes.slack.com/messages/sig-cluster-ops/) - [sig-onprem](https://kubernetes.slack.com/messages/sig-onprem/) and we monitor the Kubernetes mailing lists. {% endcapture %} {% include templates/concept.md %}
