# Kubernetes Distribution Guide
This document captures information about using Helm in specific Kubernetes
environments.
We are trying to add more details to this document. Please contribute via Pull
Requests if you can.
## MiniKube
Helm is tested and known to work with [minikube](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube).
It requires no additional configuration.
## `scripts/local-cluster` and Hyperkube
Hyperkube configured via `scripts/local-cluster.sh` is known to work. For raw
Hyperkube you may need to do some manual configuration.
## GKE
Google's GKE hosted Kubernetes platform enables RBAC by default. You will need to create a service account for tiller, and use the --service-account flag when initializing the helm server.
See [Tiller and role-based access control](https://docs.helm.sh/using_helm/#role-based-access-control) for more information.
## AKS
Helm works with [Azure Kubernetes Service](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/kubernetes-helm). If using an RBAC-enabled AKS cluster, you need [a service account and role binding for the Tiller service](https://helm.sh/docs/using_helm/#tiller-namespaces-and-rbac).
## Ubuntu with 'kubeadm'
Kubernetes bootstrapped with `kubeadm` is known to work on the following Linux
distributions:
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Fedora release 25
Some versions of Helm (v2.0.0-beta2) require you to `export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf`
or create a `~/.kube/config`.
## Container Linux by CoreOS
Helm requires that kubelet have access to a copy of the `socat` program to proxy connections to the Tiller API. On Container Linux the Kubelet runs inside of a [hyperkube](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cluster/images/hyperkube) container image that has socat. So, even though Container Linux doesn't ship `socat` the container filesystem running kubelet does have socat. To learn more read the [Kubelet Wrapper](https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/kubelet-wrapper.html) docs.
## Openshift
Helm works straightforward on OpenShift Online, OpenShift Dedicated, OpenShift Container Platform (version >= 3.6) or OpenShift Origin (version >= 3.6). To learn more read [this blog](https://blog.openshift.com/getting-started-helm-openshift/) post.
## Platform9
Helm Client and Helm Server (Tiller) are pre-installed with [Platform9 Managed Kubernetes](https://platform9.com/managed-kubernetes/?utm_source=helm_distro_notes). Platform9 provides access to all official Helm charts through the App Catalog UI and native Kubernetes CLI. Additional repositories can be manually added. Further details are available in this [Platform9 App Catalog article](https://platform9.com/support/deploying-kubernetes-apps-platform9-managed-kubernetes/?utm_source=helm_distro_notes).
## DC/OS
Helm (both client and server) has been tested and is working on Mesospheres DC/OS 1.11 Kubernetes platform, and requires
no additional configuration.
