Import an existing Kubernetes cluster

When you deploy your application to your own cloud, Encore Cloud can provision infrastructure for it in many different ways – including setting up a Kubernetes cluster.

If you already have a Kubernetes cluster, Encore Cloud can deploy your Encore application into this pre-existing cluster. This is often useful if you want to integrate your Encore application with other parts of your system that are not built using Encore.

Kubernetes imports are supported on GCP, AWS support is coming soon.

Importing a cluster

To import your cluster, go to Create Environment in the Encore Cloud dashboard, select Kubernetes: Existing GKE Cluster as the compute platform, and then specify your cluster's Project ID, Region, and Cluster Name.

When you deploy to this environment, Encore Cloud will use your imported cluster as the compute instance.
