# Kubernetes

E2E Kubernetes is managed Kubernetes in MyAccount. You choose a Kubernetes version, a master node,
and one or more worker node pools, and E2E builds the cluster on E2E nodes in your VPC, in Delhi or
Chennai. The master node runs the Kubernetes control plane. Your applications run on the worker
nodes, which are grouped into pools: each pool has its own plan and its own way of scaling. You work
with the cluster through kubectl, using the kubeconfig file you download from the cluster's page in
MyAccount.

## What you can do

- [Create a cluster](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/create-a-cluster/) with a Kubernetes version,
  pools, a VPC, and a security group.
- [Connect to a cluster with kubectl](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/connect-with-kubectl/), and open
  the Kubernetes Dashboard with the cluster's token.
- [Manage node pools](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/manage-node-pools/): add, resize, and delete
  pools, act on worker nodes, and set labels and taints.
- [Configure autoscaling for a node pool](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/configure-autoscaling/) on
  CPU, on a metric you send, or on a schedule.
- [Expose a service with a load balancer](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/expose-a-service-with-a-load-balancer/),
  using public service IPs or private LB IPs from the cluster's **LB IP Pool**.
- [Use persistent volumes](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/use-persistent-volumes/), storage that is
  kept when pods restart, in Delhi.
- [Manage a cluster's security groups](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/manage-security-groups/), which
  control traffic to the master and every worker node.
- [Renew the cluster certificate](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/renew-the-cluster-certificate/) that
  kubectl connects with.
- [Upgrade the master plan](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/upgrade-the-master-plan/) to give the
  master node more vCPU and RAM.
- [Install marketplace apps on a cluster](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/install-marketplace-apps/): a
  monitoring stack, cert-manager, or the NGINX Ingress Controller.
- [Back up a cluster with Velero](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/back-up-a-cluster-with-velero/) to an
  E2E Object Storage bucket, and restore it.
- [Monitor a cluster](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/monitor-a-cluster/) with graphs, alerts, and the
  activity timeline.
- [Use committed billing for a cluster](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/use-committed-billing/) on the
  master node and on static pools.
- [Delete a cluster](/myaccount/kubernetes/how-to/delete-a-cluster/) when you have finished with it.

## Where to start

[Get started with Kubernetes](/myaccount/kubernetes/get-started/). If something goes wrong, see
[Troubleshooting Kubernetes](/myaccount/kubernetes/troubleshooting/kubernetes/); for short answers,
see [Kubernetes FAQ](/myaccount/kubernetes/faq/), which also explains [how a cluster is
billed](/myaccount/kubernetes/faq/#how-is-a-kubernetes-cluster-billed).
