Did you know you can create and manage a fleet of Kubernetes clusters just as easily as deploying Pods? Learn how to leverage Cluster API to create, update and manage your infrastructure, whether in the cloud or on-premises. Cluster API brings declarative management of entire clusters to the infrastructure provider of your choice.

Using your local machine you will learn how to create a fleet of clusters with Cluster API, scale up and down the number of nodes, and run a one-touch upgrade of entire clusters, all in just a few minutes.

This tutorial is designed for people who have some experience managing Kubernetes, and are interested in a new approach to solving the problem of operating clusters. You will leave this tutorial with the skills to automate fleets of clusters running production-grade Kubernetes.

Please note, this tutorial focuses on showcasing Cluster API features with the Docker provider which is using Docker on the local machine.
