It handles the complexities of cluster provisioning, networking, and infrastructure management, allowing you to focus on deploying applications rather than managing infrastructure. ## What Qovery Provision Does Automated Kubernetes cluster provisioning with optimized configurations VPC, subnets, load balancers, and DNS configuration IAM roles, security groups, and encryption by default Object storage, container registries, and monitoring infrastructure ## Quick Start Complete guide to create EKS cluster with Karpenter auto-scaling Complete guide to create GKE cluster with auto-scaling Complete guide to create AKS cluster with auto-scaling Complete guide to create Kapsule cluster with auto-scaling Connect your existing Kubernetes cluster to Qovery *** ## Cluster Provisioning Architecture When you create a cluster, Qovery provisions: ```mermaid theme={null} graph TB A[Qovery Console] -->|Initiates| B[Cloud Provider API] B --> C[VPC/Network] B --> D[Kubernetes Cluster] B --> E[Load Balancer] B --> F[Object Storage] C --> D E --> D D --> G[Node Group 1] D --> H[Node Group 2] D --> I[Node Group N] D --> J[Qovery Agent] J --> K[Monitoring] J --> L[Logging] J --> M[Auto-scaling] ``` **Components Provisioned**: 1. **VPC/Virtual Network**: Isolated network infrastructure 2. **Kubernetes Control Plane**: Managed Kubernetes API server 3. **Node Groups**: Worker nodes with auto-scaling 4. **Load Balancer**: External traffic routing 5. **Object Storage**: Container images and logs 6. **IAM Roles**: Service accounts and permissions 7. **Qovery Agent**: Cluster management and monitoring ## Cluster Types ### Managed Clusters Qovery provisions and manages the entire cluster lifecycle. **Pros**: * Fully automated setup and maintenance * Automatic updates and security patches * Integrated monitoring and logging * Cost optimization features **Best For**: Production workloads, teams without dedicated DevOps ### BYOK (Bring Your Own Kubernetes) Connect your existing Kubernetes cluster to Qovery - perfect for organizations with existing infrastructure or specific compliance requirements. **What Qovery Manages**: * ✅ Application deployments and orchestration * ✅ Developer experience and workflows * ✅ Application monitoring and logs **What You Manage**: * ❌ Kubernetes cluster lifecycle * ❌ Infrastructure components (ingress, DNS, storage) * ❌ Cluster upgrades and maintenance **Best For**: Organizations with Kubernetes expertise and existing clusters (on-premise, edge, any cloud provider) [Learn more about BYOK →](/configuration/integrations/kubernetes/byok) *** ## Use Cases & Benefits Deploy across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Scaleway for geographic distribution, disaster recovery, or cost optimization Multi-AZ deployments with automatic failover and load balancing across availability zones Karpenter auto-scaling (AWS), spot instances, and cluster sleep mode to reduce infrastructure costs by up to 60% Manage clusters via Terraform provider or API for reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure *** ## Next Steps Learn how to deploy applications on your provisioned cluster {" "} Fine-tune cluster configuration for your needs {" "} Manage multiple clusters across regions Explore cloud-specific Kubernetes features
