<p>I got a VPS server running ubuntu, which is technically simply a VM. Now I thought about hosting a cluster on that VM instead of using AWS. So I would need to run the cluster directly on ubuntu.</p>

<p>One solution would be to simply use minikube which initializes another VM on top. But I'd prefer to run the kubernetes cluster directly on the VM.</p>

<p>As I am pretty new to all these topics I have no idea how to start at all. I'd guess I need a cluster management tool such as kops (which is used for AWS). </p>

<p><strong>Is it possible to run a kubernetes cluster directly on ubuntu?</strong> 
Would be glad if you can help me getting started.</p>
