There are few clouds which are supported for Kubernetes. Database backups are taken online and streamed data to cloud bucket. The container orchestrates cloud snapshots. Kubernetes deployment in the cloud that is Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud have two variants.
In this scenario, the Linux hosts running containers are deployed on IaaS plane (for example, AWS EC2 instance), which means the underlying infrastructure is provided and is similar to running on a virtualized environment. In such case, the user must deploy the Kubernetes clusters either upstream or through a distribution on the IaaS instance of the cloud provider.
Various cloud providers offer Kubernetes as a service. In such case, the cloud provider manages the Kubernetes environment completely and offers it as a service to the user. The following is the list of cloud providers and the Kubernetes as a service:
Also, the Kubernetes environment can be a generic upstream instance that is an open-source version of Kubernetes, Distro (Kubernetes distribution) with Rancher and CoreOS. It automates the provisioning of the Kubernetes cluster using an installer script and OEM distribution that automates Kubernetes, which is Red Hat OpenShift, Anthos, or Pivotal Container Service (PKS).
