通过在 Bare Metal 安装 Google Distributed Cloud 软件，您可以直接在自己的数据中心机器资源上运行 GKE Enterprise 管理的 Kubernetes 集群，在您的环境中获享灵活性、高性能和安全性。您可以在 Bare Metal 上的 Google Distributed Cloud（纯软件）概览中详细了解此选项是否适合您。
前提条件和要求：请参阅安装前提条件中有关在 Bare Metal 上安装 Google Distributed Cloud 软件的前提条件的完整列表。
安装指南：Google Distributed Cloud 可让您从 Bare Metal 上的多个集群部署模型中进行选择，以满足您的特定需求。如需了解部署选项以及指向更详细的安装指南的链接，请参阅我们的集群创建概览。
添加本地关联的集群
借助 GKE Enterprise 关联的集群功能，您可以将第三方 Kubernetes 集群添加到您的舰队中，并且可以在这些集群中使用一些 GKE Enterprise 功能，包括在Google Cloud 控制台中查看集群。您可以添加包含 x86 节点的任何一致的 Kubernetes 集群。如需了解详情，请参阅Attach your CNCF conformant cluster。
必须将关联集群手动注册到舰队。
向舰队注册集群
默认情况下，您无需执行任何操作即可注册 Google Distributed Cloud 集群。在设置过程中，您创建的每个集群都会自动运行 Connect Agent 并注册到当前项目队列中。然后，您可以从 Google Cloud 控制台登录集群，也可以从命令行登录。

To learn more about common roles and example tasks that we\nreference in Google Cloud content, see\n[Common GKE user roles and tasks](/kubernetes-engine/enterprise/docs/concepts/roles-tasks).\n\nSet up clusters\n---------------\n\nYou can choose between installing your on-premises clusters on VMware or on bare metal, depending on your application and business needs. Both versions extend GKE for use in on-premises environments. For complete guides to our on-premises options, including cluster setup and administration, see:\n\n- [Google Distributed Cloud (software-only) on VMware](/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/vmware/docs)\n- [Google Distributed Cloud (software-only) on bare metal](/kubernetes-engine/distributed-cloud/bare-metal/docs)\n\n### Install on VMware\n\nInstalling Google Distributed Cloud software on VMware lets you run GKE-managed Kubernetes clusters on-premises in a vSphere environment, using VMware's [vCenter Server](https://www.vmware.com/products/vcenter-server.html).\n\n- **Prerequisites and requirements** : See the complete list of system\n requirements in the\n [Google Distributed Cloud on VMware documentation](/anthos/clusters/docs/on-prem/latest/how-to/vsphere-requirements).\n\n- **Installation guides** : Google Distributed Cloud has a number of\n possible installation options on VMware, some more complex than others. To get started\n with the simplest installation flow, follow\n [Set up minimal infrastructure](/anthos/clusters/docs/on-prem/latest/how-to/minimal-infrastructure).\n\n### Install on bare metal\n\nInstalling Google Distributed Cloud software on bare metal lets you run\nGKE-managed Kubernetes clusters directly on your own\ndata center machine resources, with flexibility, performance, and security in\nyour environment. You can find out more about whether this is the right option\nfor you in the [Google Distributed Cloud (software-only) on bare metal overview](/anthos/clusters/docs/bare-metal/latest/concepts/about-bare-metal).\n\n- **Prerequisites and requirements** : See the complete list of prerequisites for\n installing Google Distributed Cloud software on bare metal in\n [Installation prerequisites](/anthos/clusters/docs/bare-metal/latest/installing/install-prereq).\n\n- **Installation guides** : Google Distributed Cloud lets you choose\n from multiple cluster deployment models on bare metal to suit your specific needs. For\n deployment options and links to more detailed installation guides, see our\n [Cluster creation overview](/anthos/clusters/docs/bare-metal/latest/installing/creating-clusters/create-clusters-overview).\n\n### Adding on-premises attached clusters\n\nThe GKE attached clusters feature lets you add\nthird-party Kubernetes clusters to your fleet and use some\nGKE features with them, including viewing them in the\nGoogle Cloud console. You can add any\n[conformant Kubernetes cluster](https://www.cncf.io/certification/software-conformance/)\nthat includes x86 nodes. For more information, see\n[Attach your CNCF conformant cluster](/anthos/clusters/docs/multi-cloud/attached/generic/how-to/attach-cluster).\nAttached clusters must be registered manually to your fleet.\n\nRegistering clusters to the fleet\n---------------------------------\n\nBy default, you don't need to do anything to register your Google Distributed Cloud\nclusters. As part of the setup process, each\ncluster that you create automatically runs the\nConnect Agent and is registered to your current project fleet. You can then\n[log in to the cluster from the Google Cloud console](/kubernetes-engine/fleet-management/docs/console)\nas well as from the command line.\n\nTo register an on-premises attached cluster, follow the instructions to [attach third-party clusters](/anthos/clusters/docs/multi-cloud/attached/generic/how-to/attach-cluster), paying attention to any [specific prerequisites for your Kubernetes cluster type](/anthos/clusters/docs/multi-cloud/attached/generic/reference/cluster-prerequisites).\n\nEnabling Google Cloud features\n------------------------------\n\nAfter you set up your project and your clusters, use the\nfollowing guides to enable additional available Google Cloud features for your applications.\n\n### Enabling features for Google Distributed Cloud deployments on VMware\n\n- Cloud Service Mesh:\n - [Install Cloud Service Mesh](/service-mesh/docs/onboarding/kubernetes-off-gcp/install/install-in-cluster-cloud-service-mesh)\n - [Set up a multi-cluster mesh outside Google Cloud](/service-mesh/docs/unified-install/off-gcp-multi-cluster-setup)\n- Configuration and policy management:\n - [Set up Config Sync](/anthos-config-management/docs/how-to/installing-config-sync)\n - [Install Config Connector](/config-connector/docs/how-to/install-other-kubernetes)\n - [Install Policy Controller](/anthos-config-management/docs/how-to/installing-policy-controller)\n- [Set up Knative serving](/anthos/run/docs/install/outside-gcp)\n- [Set up Binary Authorization on Google Distributed Cloud](/binary-authorization/docs/setting-up-on-prem)\n\n### Enabling features for Google Distributed Cloud deployments on bare metal\n\n- Configuration and policy management:\n - [Set up Config Sync](/anthos-config-management/docs/how-to/installing-config-sync)\n - [Install Config Connector](/config-connector/docs/how-to/install-other-kubernetes)\n - [Install Policy Controller](/anthos-config-management/docs/how-to/installing-policy-controller)\n- [Set up Binary Authorization on Google Distributed Cloud](/anthos/clusters/docs/bare-metal/latest/how-to/binary-authorization-policy)\n\nWhat's next?\n------------\n\n- If you also need to set up GKE clusters on Google Cloud, see the [GKE Enterprise on Google Cloud setup guide](/kubernetes-engine/enterprise/docs/setup/set-up-google-cloud).\n- If you also need to set up clusters on another public cloud (such as AWS) as part of a multicloud deployment, see the [public clouds setup guide](/kubernetes-engine/enterprise/docs/setup/public-cloud)"]]
