# Kubernetes Guides

In-cluster how-to guides for workloads running on an E2E Kubernetes cluster. These guides are `kubectl`-based and assume you have already [created a cluster](/docs/myaccount/kubernetes/getting-started/create-cluster) and [downloaded its kubeconfig](/docs/myaccount/kubernetes/getting-started/connect-to-cluster).

For portal-based management (node pools, persistent volumes, security groups, monitoring, and more), see [Manage Kubernetes](/docs/myaccount/kubernetes/manage).
