Deployment
Use this section to select a deployment model and apply the matching system identity, file paths, and runtime hardening. The tested preview deployment models are systemd and static pod.
Pick A Model First
- Choosing A Model to compare systemd and static-pod against your control-plane topology, kubeadm posture, and operational constraints.
- systemd Deployment for a hardened systemd unit on the control-plane host.
- Static Pod Deployment for a kubelet-managed static pod alongside the API server.
- Linux Identity Model for the user, group, file ownership, and permission model that both deployment styles depend on.
- Observability Deployment for Prometheus scrape wiring and the maintained Grafana dashboard sample.
Use Another Section If
- the question is about getting a binary onto the host or wiring
EncryptionConfiguration: go to Start Here . - the question is about ongoing operation, rotation, or recovery: go to Operations .
- the question is about runtime hardening and trust boundaries beyond the host identity: go to Security .
