|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Add-ons extend the functionality of Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
This page lists some of the available add-ons and links to their respective installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
Add-ons in each section are sorted alphabetically - the ordering does not imply any preferential status.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* [Calico](http://docs.projectcalico.org/v2.0/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/hosted/) is a secure L3 networking and network policy provider.
