# Ray on Kubernetes
(kuberay-index)=
## Overview

You can execute your distributed Ray programs on a Kubernetes cluster.

The [KubeRay Operator](https://ray-project.github.io/kuberay/components/operator/) provides a Kubernetes-native
interface for managing Ray clusters. Each Ray cluster consist of a head pod and collection of worker pods.
Optional autoscaling support allows the KubeRay Operator to size your Ray clusters according to the requirements
of your Ray workload, adding and removing Ray pods as needed.
