# Instance Kubernetes clusters (certificate-based) (deprecated)
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Free, Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** Self-managed
WARNING:
This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8) in GitLab 14.5. To connect clusters to GitLab,
use the [GitLab agent](../../clusters/agent/index.md).
Similar to Kubernetes clusters for [projects](../../project/clusters/index.md)
and [groups](../../group/clusters/index.md), instance Kubernetes clusters enable
you to connect a Kubernetes cluster to the GitLab instance, and use the same cluster
across multiple projects.
To view Kubernetes clusters for your instance:
1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select **Admin**.
1. Select **Kubernetes**.
## Cluster precedence
GitLab tries to match clusters in the following order:
- Project clusters.
- Group clusters.
- Instance clusters.
To be selected, the cluster must be enabled and
match the [environment selector](../../../ci/environments/index.md#limit-the-environment-scope-of-a-cicd-variable).
## Cluster environments
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Premium, Ultimate
**Offering:** GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated
For a consolidated view of which CI [environments](../../../ci/environments/index.md)
are deployed to the Kubernetes cluster, see the documentation for
[cluster environments](../../clusters/environments.md).
## More information
For information on integrating GitLab and Kubernetes, see
[Kubernetes clusters](../../infrastructure/clusters/index.md).
