## Create new cluster
> The certificate-based method for creating clusters from GitLab was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/327908) in GitLab 14.0.

As of GitLab 14.0, use [Infrastructure as Code](../../infrastructure/iac/index.md#create-a-new-cluster-through-iac)
to **safely create new clusters from GitLab**.
As of GitLab 14.0, use [Infrastructure as Code](../../infrastructure/index.md)
to **safely create your new cluster from GitLab**.
Creating clusters from GitLab using cluster certificates is still available on the
GitLab UI but was **deprecated** in GitLab 14.0 and is scheduled for removal in
GitLab 15.0. We don't recommend using this method.
The certificate-based method is **deprecated** and scheduled for removal in
GitLab 15.0. However, you can still use it until then. Through
this method, you can host your cluster in EKS, GKE, on premises, and with other
providers. To host them on premises and with other providers,
use either the EKS or GKE method to guide you through and enter your cluster's
settings manually:
You can create a new cluster hosted in EKS, GKE, on premises, and with other
providers using cluster certificates:
-[New cluster hosted on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)](add_gke_clusters.md).
-[New cluster hosted on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)](add_eks_clusters.md).
To host them on premises and with other providers, you can use Terraform
or your preferred tool of choice to create and connect a cluster with GitLab.
The [GitLab Terraform provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/gitlabhq/gitlab/latest/docs/resources/project_cluster)
supports connecting existing clusters using the certificate-based connection method.
## Add existing cluster
If you already have a cluster and want to integrate it with GitLab, see how to
[add an existing cluster](add_existing_cluster.md).
As of GitLab 14.0, use the [GitLab Kubernetes Agent](../../clusters/agent/index.md)
to connect your cluster to GitLab.
Alternativelly, you can [add an existing cluster](add_existing_cluster.md)
through the certificate-based method, but we don't recommend using this method for [security implications](index.md#security-implications).
## Configure your cluster
As of GitLab 14.0, use the [GitLab Kubernetes Agent](../../clusters/agent/index.md) to configure your cluster.
As of GitLab 14.0, use the [GitLab Kubernetes Agent](../../clusters/agent/index.md)
