Kubernetes can run on various platforms: from your laptop, to VMs on a cloud provider, to a rack of
bare metal servers. The effort required to set up a cluster varies from running a single command to
crafting your own customized cluster. Use this guide to choose a solution that fits your needs.

# Custom Solutions
## Custom Solutions

Kubernetes can run on a wide range of Cloud providers and bare-metal environments, and with many
base operating systems.

If you can find a guide below that matches your needs, use it. It may be a little out of date, but
it will be easier than starting from scratch. If you do want to start from scratch, either because you
have special requirements, or just because you want to understand what is underneath a Kubernetes
cluster, try the [Getting Started from Scratch](/docs/getting-started-guides/scratch/) guide.
cluster, try the [Getting Started from Scratch](/docs/setup/scratch/) guide.

If you are interested in supporting Kubernetes on a new platform, see
[Writing a Getting Started Guide](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/writing-a-getting-started-guide.md).
