# Clusters

## Quickstart

1. Start by clicking the **Wizard** button in the [Control Panel](https://my.flow.swiss). Click **Create Kubernetes Cluster**.<br>
2. Choose a data center [Region](/platform/regions.md).<br>
3. Choose the default configuration for your worker nodes, which determines their RAM, vCPUs, and price. If you need more than three worker nodes, click the **(+) Plus** sign on the card.<br>
4. Confirm the network topology. If you have more than one **Private Network**, you can select the one you want. By default, each cluster is assigned an [Elastic IP](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] address and is reachable via the Internet. If you wish for the cluster to be reachable only internally, uncheck the **IPv4** checkbox.<br>
5. Name your cluster and click on **Finish**. Deploying the cluster takes a few minutes.<br>
6. Download the cluster configuration file by clicking the **(**•••**) More** button and then **Download Kube-Config**.<br>
7. Once the cluster is created, use [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/), the official Kubernetes command-line tool, to connect and interact with the cluster. If you prefer an intuitive graphical interface, then the free third-party tool [Lens](https://k8slens.dev/desktop.html) is right for you.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.flow.swiss/products/kubernetes/clusters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
