# KuboVisor

We provide two different installation types for KuboVisor:

* [**cloud installation**](https://docs.kubolabs.io/getting-started/kubovisor/cloud-mode): we connect to your cluster from our infrastructure
  * :person\_lifting\_weights: we do the heavy lifting for you
  * :feather: nothing runs on your cluster
  * :chart\_with\_downwards\_trend: you save resources
* [**local agent installation**](https://docs.kubolabs.io/getting-started/kubovisor/agent-mode): you deploy a KuboVisor agent workload on your cluster
  * :police\_officer: you are in charge
  * :hammer\_pick: additional configuration
  * :lock: more secure
  * :chart\_with\_upwards\_trend: use more resources

The **easiest way** to setup KuboVisor is to use the [cloud installation](https://docs.kubolabs.io/getting-started/kubovisor/cloud-mode), you only need:

* a publicly reachable cluster (with optional SSH authentication)
* a *kubeconfig* file with sufficient permissions

However, if your cluster is completely private or you don’t want to provide us with your cluster credentials, you can still [install the agent on your cluster](https://docs.kubolabs.io/getting-started/kubovisor/agent-mode).
