# Managed Kubernetes

!!! warning "Alpha — limited pilot"
    Managed Kubernetes is in a limited pilot. It is enabled per project for
    early-access customers, and the API may still change. Managing clusters
    from the Verda Console is coming soon. To join the pilot,
    [contact support](https://docs.verda.com/welcome-to-verda/contact-support/).

Managed Kubernetes gives you Kubernetes clusters where Verda runs the control
plane and you bring the workloads. You create clusters and node pools of GPU
or CPU worker nodes, and connect to them with a standard kubeconfig.

Looking for a Kubernetes cluster on dedicated bare-metal nodes today? See
[Kubernetes on Instant Clusters](https://docs.verda.com/clusters/instant-clusters/kubernetes/).

## API

The Verda public API includes Managed Kubernetes, under `https://api.verda.com/v1/mk8sclusters`. It uses the same [API credentials](https://docs.verda.com/clusters/welcome-to-verda/api-credentials/) as the rest of the API. The endpoints are being added to the [Verda API reference](https://api.verda.com/v1/docs) during the pilot.

## CLI

Managed Kubernetes commands for the [Verda CLI](https://docs.verda.com/cli/) are in
development.

## Terraform

Managed Kubernetes resources for the
[Verda Terraform provider](https://docs.verda.com/infrastructure-as-code/terraform/)
([GitHub](https://github.com/verda-cloud/terraform-provider-verda)) are in
development.
