`kops` provisions your cluster with:
|
|
|
|
* Fully automated installation
|
|
* DNS-based cluster identification
|
|
* Self-healing: everything runs in Auto-Scaling Groups
|
|
* Limited OS support (Debian preferred, Ubuntu 16.04 supported, early support for CentOS & RHEL)
|
|
* High availability (HA) support
|
|
* The ability to directly provision, or to generate Terraform manifests
|
|
|
|
You can also build your own cluster using {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="kubeadm" >}} as a building block. `kops` builds on the kubeadm work.
