<!-- overview -->
|
|
|
|
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 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.

## 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.
