Runs workloads on your own hardware and provisions managed Kubernetes (mk8s) clusters on Control Plane. Use when the user asks about bare metal, on-prem, data centers, their own servers, mk8s, BYOK, or node pools.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Managed Kubernetes (mk8s) & BYOK

> **Tool availability:** the mk8s tools need `?toolsets=mk8s` (or `full`); reconnect with it or use the CLI.

Control Plane has three separate "Kubernetes" stories people routinely conflate — get the right one first:

- **mk8s** — Control Plane *provisions and manages* a real, conformant Kubernetes cluster on your cloud account (12 providers). You get a kubeconfig and run normal Kubernetes. It is a **standalone cluster** — to schedule Control Plane (GVC) workloads onto it, add the `byok` add-on (below). Resource kind `mk8s`.
- **BYOK location** — you already have a self-managed cluster; you *register it* as a Control Plane location so Control Plane workloads (GVC workloads) schedule onto it. Resource kind `location`, provider `byok`.
- **mk8s BYOK add-on** — `addOns.byok` makes an mk8s cluster register *itself* as a Control Plane location: it links a `location` you create and installs the agent automatically (no manual `cpln location install`). This is how Control Plane workloads run on an mk8s cluster.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add controlplane-com/ai-plugin/mk8s-byok@sha256:ae6c3b17b142b609

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.7bf99b8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
