## Multiple Kubernetes clusters
> Introduced in [GitLab Enterprise Edition Premium][ee] 10.3.
With GitLab EEP, you can associate more than one Kubernetes clusters to your
project. That way you can have different clusters for different environments,
like dev, staging, production, etc.
To add another cluster, follow the same steps as described in
[
adding a
Kubernetes cluster
](
#adding-a-kubernetes-cluster
)
and make sure to
[
set an environment scope
](
#setting-the-environment-scope
)
that will
differentiate the new cluster with the rest.
## Setting the environment scope
When adding more than one clusters, you need to differentiate them with an
environment scope. The environment scope associates clusters and
[
environments
](
../../../ci/environments.md
)
in an 1:1 relationship similar to how the
[
environment-specific variables
](
../../../ci/variables/README.md#limiting-environment-scopes-of-secret-variables
)
work.
The default environment scope is
`*`
, which means all jobs, regardless of their
environment, will use that cluster. Each scope can only be used by a single
cluster in a project, and a validation error will occur if otherwise.
---
For example, let's say the following clusters exist in a project:
| Cluster | Environment scope |
| ---------- | ------------------- |
| Development|
`*`
|
| Staging |
`staging/*`
|
| Production |
`production/*`
|
And the following environments are set in
[
`.gitlab-ci.yml`
](
../../../ci/yaml/README.md
)
:
```
yaml
stages
:
-
test
-
deploy
test
:
stage
:
test
script
:
sh test
deploy to staging
:
stage
:
deploy
script
:
make deploy
environment
:
name
:
staging/$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
url
:
https://staging.example.com/
deploy to production
:
stage
:
deploy
script
:
make deploy
environment
:
name
:
production/$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
url
:
https://example.com/
```
The result will then be:
-
The development cluster will be used for the "test" job.
-
The staging cluster will be used for the "deploy to staging" job.
-
The production cluster will be used for the "deploy to production" job.
