Kubernetes on OVHcloud (OVH)#
OVHcloud is a leader in the hosted private cloud services space in Europe.
They offer a managed Kubernetes service as well as a managed private registry for Docker images.
This page describes how to create a Kubernetes cluster using the OVH Control Panel,
and how to access the cluster using the command line with kubectl
.
Log in to the OVH Control Panel.

You can start with the b2-7 flavor, or choosing a different flavor based on your requirements.
Download the
kubeconfig
file and store it under~/.kube/config
on your machine.To test if your cluster is initialized, run:
kubectl get node
The response should list two running nodes (or however many nodes you set with
--num-nodes
above).Note
Check out the [Kubernetes Documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/ install-kubectl) to install

Congrats! Now that you have your Kubernetes cluster running, it’s time to begin Setting up helm.
