Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
However, initial development was done on [GCE](https://cloud.google.com/compute/) and so our instructions and scripts are built around that. If you make it work on other infrastructure please let us know and contribute instructions/code.
## Kubernetes is in pre-production beta!

### Kubernetes can run anywhere!

While the concepts and architecture in Kubernetes represent years of experience designing and building large scale cluster manager at Google, the Kubernetes project is still under heavy development. Expect bugs, design and API changes as we bring it to a stable, production product over the coming year.

**Clusters** are the compute resources on top of which your containers are built. Kubernetes can run anywhere! See the [Getting Started Guides](docs/getting-started-guides) for instructions for a variety of services.

**Pods** are a colocated group of Docker containers with shared volumes. They're the smallest deployable units that can be created, scheduled, and managed with Kubernetes. Pods can be created individually, but it's recommended that you use a replication controller even if creating a single pod. [More about pods](docs/pods.md).
