# Creating a Kubernetes Cluster
Below you will find examples of creating a small 3 node Kubernetes cluster to try NATS on multiple clouds.
## Google Kubernetes Engine
Use [gcloud](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/) to create a 3 node [regional](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/creating-a-regional-cluster) Kubernetes cluster on `us-west2`.
```bash
# Create a 3 node Kubernetes cluster. One node in each of the region's three zones.
gcloud container clusters create nats-k8s-cluster \
--project $YOUR_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT \
--region us-west2 \
--num-nodes 1 \
--machine-type n1-standard-2
```
Note that since this is a regional cluster we are specifying `--num-nodes 1` which will create a kubelet on 3 different zones. If you are creating a [single-zone cluster](https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/creating-a-cluster) but want 3 nodes then you have to specify `--num-nodes 3`.
## Amazon Kubernetes Service
The [eksctl](https://github.com/weaveworks/eksctl) is a very helpful tool to manage EKS clusters, you can find more docs on how to set it up [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started-eksctl.html).
```bash
# Create 3 node Kubernetes cluster
eksctl create cluster --name nats-k8s-cluster \
--nodes 3 \
--node-type=t3.large \
--region=eu-west-1
# Get the credentials for your cluster
eksctl utils write-kubeconfig --name $YOUR_EKS_NAME --region eu-west-1
```
## Digital Ocean
You can use [doctl](https://github.com/digitalocean/doctl) to create a cluster as follows:
```bash
doctl kubernetes cluster create nats-k8s-nyc2 --count 3 --region nyc1
```
## Azure Kubernetes Service
Using [az](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/?view=azure-cli-latest) you can create a cluster like this:
```bash
# In case not done already, register to use some services:
az login
az provider register -n Microsoft.Network
az provider register -n Microsoft.Storage
az provider register -n Microsoft.Compute
az provider register -n Microsoft.ContainerService
# Create resource group and 3 node cluster
az group create --name nats --location westus
az aks create \
--resource-group nats \
--name nats \
--node-count 3 \
--node-vm-size Standard_DS2_v2 \
--load-balancer-sku basic \
--enable-node-public-ip
az aks get-credentials --resource-group nats --name nats
```
Eventually your cluster will be provided ExternalIPs that the NATS cluster can advertise to clients:
```text
kubectl get nodes -o wide
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION INTERNAL-IP EXTERNAL-IP OS-IMAGE KERNEL-VERSION CONTAINER-RUNTIME
