In this document, we will explore the different types of Kubernetes clusters Platform9 Managed Kubernetes (PMK) supports today.
On Premise (BareOS) – Platform9 uses the term ‘BareOS’ to refer to physical servers or a set of Linux virtual machines like VMWare or KVM. Clusters created using these machine types are called a BareOS cluster. Once created, these clusters will show up in your PMK UI with type ‘BareOS’.
AWS Native Clusters – This is the PMK legacy mechanism to create clusters natively in AWS using EC2 instances and using Platform9's native Qbert cluster management APIs.
