##Deploy a production ready kubernetes cluster
If you have questions, you can [invite yourself](https://slack.kubespray.io/) to **chat** with us on Slack! [](https://kubespray.slack.com)
- Can be deployed on **AWS, GCE, OpenStack or Baremetal**
- **High available** cluster
- **Composable** (Choice of the network plugin for instance)
- Support most popular **Linux distributions**
- **Continuous integration tests**
To deploy the cluster you can use :
[**kargo-cli**](https://github.com/kubespray/kargo-cli) (deprecated, a newer [go](https://github.com/Smana/kargo-cli/tree/kargogo) version soon)
**Ansible** usual commands
**vagrant** by simply running `vagrant up` (for tests purposes)

Versions
--------------
[kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases) v1.4.0
[etcd](https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases) v3.0.1
[flanneld](https://github.com/coreos/flannel/releases) v0.6.2
[calicoctl](https://github.com/projectcalico/calico-docker/releases) v0.22.0
[weave](http://weave.works/) v1.6.1
[docker](https://www.docker.com/) v1.10.3
Requirements
--------------
* The target servers must have **access to the Internet** in order to pull docker images.
* The **firewalls are not managed**, you'll need to implement your own rules the way you used to.
in order to avoid any issue during deployment you should disable your firewall
* **Copy your ssh keys** to all the servers part of your inventory.
* **Ansible v2.x and python-netaddr**
## Network plugins
You can choose between 3 network plugins. (default: `flannel` with vxlan backend)
* [**flannel**](docs/flannel.md): gre/vxlan (layer 2) networking.
* [**calico**](docs/calico.md): bgp (layer 3) networking.
* **weave**: Weave is a lightweight container overlay network that doesn't require an external K/V database cluster.
(Please refer to `weave` [troubleshooting documentation](http://docs.weave.works/weave/latest_release/troubleshooting.html))
The choice is defined with the variable `kube_network_plugin`
