You can do so just using Otterize OSS, without it to Otterize Cloud, and use SPIRE for certificates. Or you can do so with Otterize OSS connected to Otterize Cloud, which adds web visualization as well as the *option* of using Cloud-managed credentials. (You can also connect to Cloud but still use SPIRE; refer to the [cryptographic credentials documentation](/security#cryptographic-credentials).) +## Prerequisites + +
+Prepare a Kubernetes cluster + +Before you start, you'll need a Kubernetes cluster. Having a cluster with a [CNI](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/compute-storage-net/network-plugins/) that supports [NetworkPolicies](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/network-policies/) isn't required for this tutorial, but is recommended so that your cluster works with other tutorials. + +{@include: ../_common/cluster-setup.md} +
