Other Methods

Two other commonly used methods to install Kubernetes.

As previously stated, there are lots of ways to install Kubernetes. These include:

  • kops
  • kubeadm

kops is an opinionated tool for installing Kubernetes on AWS. The term opinionated means that it wants to configure Kubernetes in a particular way and doesn’t let you customize very much. If you need more freedom with your installation you might want to consider kubeadm.

Previously, I would dedicate a lot of time to each method. However, the material was extremely dry and difficult to follow. Now, I recommend readers follow online guides to build Kubernetes with either kops or kubeadm.
