  "content": "\nThis section lists the different ways to set up and run Redis Enterprise for Kubernetes. You can deploy on variety of Kubernetes distributions both on-prem and in the cloud via our Redis Enterprise operator for Kubernetes.\n\n## Operator overview {#overview}\n\nRedis Enterprise for Kubernetes uses [custom resource definitions](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/api-extension/custom-resources/#customresourcedefinitions) (CRDs) to create and manage Redis Enterprise clusters (REC) and Redis Enterprise databases (REDB).\n\nThe operator is a deployment that runs within a given namespace. These operator pods must run with sufficient privileges to create the Redis Enterprise cluster resources within that namespace.\n\nWhen the operator is installed, the following resources are created:\n\n* a service account under which the operator will run\n* a set of roles to define the privileges necessary for the operator to perform its tasks\n* a set of role bindings to authorize the service account for the correct roles (see above)\n* the CRD for a Redis Enterprise cluster (REC)\n* the CRD for a Redis Enterprise database (REDB)\n* the operator itself (a deployment)\n\nThe operator currently runs within a single namespace and is scoped to operate only on the Redis Enterprise cluster in that namespace.\n\n## Compatibility\n\nBefore installing, check [Supported Kubernetes distributions](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/kubernetes/reference/supported_k8s_distributions) to see which Redis Enterprise operator version supports your Kubernetes distribution.\n\n\n",
