Installation
Supported Platforms
Meshery runs as a set of containers, either on a Docker host or in a Kubernetes cluster. On a Docker host, Meshery runs as a standalone management plane outside the clusters it manages, which is an out-of-cluster deployment. Inside a Kubernetes cluster, it is an in-cluster deployment. The supported platforms are listed below.
To decide which installation path fits your environment, start with the Compatibility Matrix.
For runtime configuration after installation, see Meshery Server Environment Variables.
Before you deploy Meshery for production use, review the Production Deployment guidance on high availability, security hardening, performance, multi-cluster and multi-cloud operation, and operational readiness.
