# Instance-level Kubernetes clusters **(FREE SELF)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/39840) in GitLab 11.11.
Similar to [project-level](../../project/clusters/index.md)
and [group-level](../../group/clusters/index.md) Kubernetes clusters,
instance-level Kubernetes clusters allow you to connect a Kubernetes cluster to
the GitLab instance, which enables you to use the same cluster across multiple
projects.
To view the instance level Kubernetes clusters:
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Kubernetes**.
## Cluster precedence
GitLab tries to match clusters in the following order:
- Project-level clusters.
- Group-level clusters.
- Instance-level clusters.
To be selected, the cluster must be enabled and
match the [environment selector](../../../ci/environments/index.md#scope-environments-with-specs).
## Cluster environments **(PREMIUM)**
For a consolidated view of which CI [environments](../../../ci/environments/index.md)
are deployed to the Kubernetes cluster, see the documentation for
[cluster environments](../../clusters/environments.md).
## More information
For information on integrating GitLab and Kubernetes, see
[Kubernetes clusters](../../infrastructure/clusters/index.md).
