Depending on your requirements such as ease of maintenance, security, control, available resources, and level of expertise to operate and manage a Kubernetes cluster, there are various solutions available. You can deploy a Kubernetes cluster on a local machine, cloud, on-prem datacenter; or choose a managed Kubernetes cluster. You can also create custom solutions across a wide range of cloud providers, or bare metal environments.
This section covers different options to set up and run Kubernetes.
You can create a Kubernetes cluster in learning and production environments.
Different Kubernetes solutions meet different requirements: ease of maintenance, security, control, available resources, and expertise required to operate and manage a cluster.

## Learning environment
If you want to get familiar with Kubernetes, you can use the Docker-based solutions. You can use tools that are supported by the Kubernetes community or the tools in the ecosystem to set up a Kubernetes cluster on a local machine.

The following production environment solutions diagram lists the possible abstractions of a Kubernetes cluster and the level of expertise involved in managing the operations of a cluster.
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.

The following diagram lists the possible abstractions of a Kubernetes cluster and whether an abstraction is self-managed or managed by a provider.
