This section covers different options to set up and run Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
Different Kubernetes solutions meet different requirements: 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. You can also create custom solutions across a wide range of cloud providers, or bare metal environments.
|
|
|
|
More simply, you can create a Kubernetes cluster in learning and production environments.

## Learning environment
|
|
|
|
If you're learning Kubernetes, use the Docker-based solutions: 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.
