Similar to Kubernetes clusters for projects and groups, instance Kubernetes clusters enable you to connect a Kubernetes cluster to the GitLab instance, and use the same cluster across multiple projects.

To view Kubernetes clusters for your instance:

1. In the upper-right corner, select Admin.
2. Select Kubernetes.

Cluster precedence

GitLab tries to match clusters in the following order:

• Project clusters.
• Group clusters.
• Instance clusters.

To be selected, the cluster must be enabled and match the environment selector.

Cluster environments

For a consolidated view of which CI environments are deployed to the Kubernetes cluster, see the documentation for cluster environments.
