# DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS)

Digital Ocean Cloud provides an upstream version of Kubernetes. Trilio supports both cluster-scoped and namespace-scoped installation on a Digital Ocean Kubernetes Service (DOKS) cluster. A 1-click installation application is listed in [Digital Ocean Marketplace](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com), which performs the operations below:

1. Trilio for Kubernetes Operator installation in namespace `trilio-system`.
2. Trilio for Kubernetes Manager installation in namespace `trilio-system`.
3. Trilio ingress is configured to access the T4K Management UI. Refer to[Configuring the UI](/kubernetes/configuration/management-console/accessing-the-ui.md).
4. Installs a preconfigured license for the T4K to use an unlimited number of vCPUs for 30 days.

## Installation Methods

Two methods can be used to install T4K on the DOKS cluster:

* Install from the Digital Ocean Marketplace
* ​Install directly from the DOKS cluster list
