# Deployment

Node Feature Discovery can be deployed on any recent version of Kubernetes
(v1.24+).

See [Image variants](image-variants.md) for description of the different NFD
container images available.

[Using Kustomize](kustomize.md) provides straightforward deployment with
`kubectl` integration and declarative customization.

[Using Helm](helm.md) provides easy management of NFD deployments with nice
configuration management and easy upgrades.

[Using Operator](operator.md) provides deployment and configuration management via
CRDs.
docs: restructure docs Introduce two main sections "Deployment" and "Usage" and move "Developer guide" to the top level, too. In particular, split the huge deployment-and-usage file into multiple parts under the new main sections. Move customization guide from "Advanced" to "Usage". This patch also renames "Advanced" to "Reference" as only that is left there is reference documentation. 2022-11-02 12:34:37 +00:00			`---`

docs: describe Kubernetes version compatibility in versions page Bump the required Kubernetes version to v1.24. In practice this is the minimum Kubernetes version as our deployment (both kustomize and Helm) depend on the gRPC container probes feature of Kubernetes. 2024-07-08 11:09:36 +00:00			`(v1.24+).`

docs: add missing .md suffix to internal references Commit bfbc47f55e460ec80bfb8f57125ee3a0d2967486 added a lot of those and this patch tries to cover all that we missed there.
