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.
|
You can [download Kubernetes](/releases/download/) to deploy a Kubernetes cluster
|
||||||
|
on a local machine, into the cloud, or for your own datacenter.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you don't want to manage a Kubernetes cluster yourself, you could pick a managed service, including
|
||||||
|
[certified platforms](/docs/setup/production-environment/turnkey-solutions/).
|
||||||
|
There are also other standardized and custom solutions across a wide range of cloud and
|

|
bare metal environments.

When evaluating a solution for a

[production environment](/docs/setup/production-environment/), consider which aspects of

operating a Kubernetes cluster (or _abstractions_) you want to manage yourself and which you

prefer to hand off to a provider.

[Kubernetes Partners](https://kubernetes.io/partners/#conformance) includes a list of [Certified Kubernetes](https://github.com/cncf/k8s-conformance/#certified-kubernetes) providers.

For a cluster you're managing yourself, the officially supported tool
|

|
for deploying Kubernetes is [kubeadm](/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/).

Windows.
