Quick Start

This Quick Start guide shows how you can quickly get started with KubeOne and create your first cluster.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, make sure that you’ve the following prerequisites satisfied:

• Installed KubeOne as described in the Getting KubeOne document
• Installed Terraform v0.12+ if you want to provision the infrastructure using our example Terraform configs. You can find the installation instructions in the official Terraform docs
• The appropriate provider credentials to be used by KubeOne and Terraform as described in the Configuring Credentials document
• An SSH key and the ssh-agent configured as described in the Configuring SSH document

Creating A Cluster Using KubeOne

The first step when creating a new cluster is to create the infrastructure where the cluster will be provisioned. That can be done by following the Creating Infrastructure Using Example Terraform Configs guide. Once you have the needed infrastructure, follow the Provisioning guide to provision a cluster using KubeOne.

To find what operating systems and Kubernetes versions are supported by KubeOne, check out the Compatibility document.

Learn More

Once you have the cluster in the place, you can check other guides to learn how to use KubeOne to maintain your cluster. We recommend checking at least the following guides:

• Managing Worker Nodes using machine-controller
• Upgrading clusters using KubeOne

If you want to learn more about tools and concepts used by KubeOne, we recommend checking the Concepts document.
