# Plan a Confluent Platform Deployment with Confluent for Kubernetes Before you deploy Confluent Platform to production with Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK), plan your environment, storage, network, security, and capacity. ## In this section - [Supported Environments and Versions](co-supported-environments.md#co-supported-environments): Confirm that your Kubernetes platform and Confluent Platform component versions are supported. - [Namespace and RBAC Strategy](co-prepare.md#co-deployment-models): Choose how to organize CFK and Confluent Platform across namespaces. - [Plan Storage](co-plan-storage.md#co-plan-storage): Select storage classes and volumes for the stateful components. - [Plan Networking](co-plan-network.md#co-networking-plan): Decide how clients and components reach your clusters. - [Plan Security](co-plan-security.md#co-confluent-security-plan): Plan authentication, authorization, and network encryption. - [Plan Capacity and Sizing](co-plan-sizing.md#co-env-sizing): Size CPU, memory, and storage for your workload. - [Plan Log Retention and Deployment Constraints](co-plan-availability.md#co-plan-availability): Plan log retention and review configuration constraints that you can’t change after you deploy. When you finish planning, use the [Pre-Deployment Checklist](co-plan-checklist.md#co-plan-checklist) before you install CFK.
