A CLI tool that helps you create, destroy, upgrade and maintain production-grade, highly available, Kubernetes clusters. NOTE: Officially supports AWS only, with GCE and VMware vSphere in alpha.

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 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.
