# Confluent Cloud for Government and Self-Managed Components Deploy self-managed components to provide additional [event streaming](../_glossary.md#term-event-streaming) features or functionality not yet available in Confluent Cloud for Government. Usually this is a two-step process of deploying a self-managed component, then connecting that component to Confluent Cloud for Government. 1. Deploy self-managed components 2. Connect self-managed components to GovCloud ## Deploy self-managed components Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK) is a cloud-native control plane for deploying and managing Confluent products in a private cloud environment. It provides standard and simple interface to customize, deploy, and manage [Confluent Platform](../_glossary.md#term-Confluent-Platform) through declarative API. CFK runs on Kubernetes, the runtime for private cloud architectures. For more information, see [Confluent for Kubernetes](https://docs.confluent.io/operator/current/overview.html). Use CFK to deploy Confluent Platform components that you can then connect to Confluent Cloud for Government. For details and links to examples, see [Hybrid Deployment of Confluent Platform and Confluent Cloud](https://docs.confluent.io/operator/current/co-hybrid.html#hybrid-deployment-of-cp-and-ccloud). ## Connect self-managed components to Confluent Cloud for Government Connect your existing Confluent Platform components to Confluent Cloud for Government.
