# kOps - Kubernetes Operations
[GoDoc]: https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/kops
[GoDoc Widget]: https://godoc.org/k8s.io/kops?status.svg
The easiest way to get a production grade Kubernetes cluster up and running.
## What is kOps?
We like to think of it as `kubectl` for clusters.
`kops` will not only help you create, destroy, upgrade and maintain production-grade, highly
available, Kubernetes cluster, but it will also provision the necessary cloud infrastructure.
[AWS](getting_started/aws.md) (Amazon Web Services) and [GCE](getting_started/gce.md) (Google Cloud Platform) are currently officially supported, with [DigitalOcean](getting_started/digitalocean.md), [Hetzner](getting_started/hetzner.md) and [OpenStack](getting_started/openstack.md) in beta support, and [Azure](getting_started/azure.md) in alpha.
