short-description: >
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*.
long-description: |
`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.
