The availability of online services is crucial today, especially for corporations and larger companies, where the demands of their users are very high. One solution to this is offered by the Kubernetes environment, which is today the fastest growing open source project in the field. It allows us to automate the deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. Many projects have already faced the difficulty of installing Kubernetes, but the Cluster API is trying to introduce a completely new approach to this issue by installing and managing the infrastructure through Kubernetes itself. We presented in detail the procedures for installing and managing Kubernetes using the Cluster API on the containerized environment Docker and through the cloud service provider Azure, and we also delved into the different topologies of Kubernetes clusters. The modern Cluster API tool has already shown in its early stages of development the power of combining the management of both applications and infrastructure via the Kubernetes environment, meaning that we can expect further progress in this direction in the near future.
