More than a year ago, I made a prediction that new Kubernetes distributions would emerge and the whole K8s installation process would be very similar to the Linux desktop experience: yes, the kernel is the same, but you have some pre-installed stuff that makes your experience smoother.

Yet, I was wrong. Some Kubernetes distributions emerged indeed, but the reality is that for the majority of people the real answer is to simply use whatever a cloud provider gives you and install necessary plugins by yourself.

Though, not everyone is operating in a cloud, as well as not everyone is using a managed Kubernetes service within a cloud. Therefore, I want to share with you an article called Kubernetes Installation Methods The Complete Guide.

This is not a complete guide, of course. There are a couple more methods and distributions. Moreover, I believe there are some exotic ways of people managing their clusters that never go public (we have a custom Kubernetes deployer in the company, lol).

However, this guide provides a nice overview of what's available on the market and which solutions suit better to which situations. So, if you're looking into starting your Kubernetes journey, you have a good place to validate your ideas about the tools.
