Learn about hosted Kubernetes and how to use kubectl.

Hosted Kubernetes

Hosted Kubernetes is a consumption model where a cloud provider rents you a production-grade Kubernetes cluster. If you’re following along on the Civo Cloud, this is a hosted Kubernetes.

The cloud provider builds the cluster, owns the control plane, and is responsible for all of the following:

  • Control plane performance

  • Control plane availability

  • Control plane updates

You’re usually responsible for:

  • Worker nodes

  • User applications

  • Paying the bill

The following figure shows the basic architecture and division of responsibility for hosted Kubernetes platforms.
