## Running Keptn with vCluster

Keptn running on Kubernetes versions 1.26 and older
uses a custom
[scheduler](../architecture/components/scheduler/),
so it does not work with
[Virtual Kubernetes Clusters](https://www.vcluster.com/)
("vClusters") out of the box.
This is also an issue
if the `schedulingGatesEnabled` Helm chart value is set to `false`
for Kubernetes version 1.27 and later.
See
[Keptn integration with Scheduling](../architecture/components/scheduler/)
for details.

To solve this problem:

1. Follow the instructions in
[Separate vCluster Scheduler](https://www.vcluster.com/docs/architecture/scheduling#separate-vcluster-scheduler)
to modify the vCluster `values.yaml` file
to use a virtual scheduler.

1. Create or upgrade the vCluster,
following the instructions in that same document.

1. Follow the instructions in the section below
to install Keptn in that vCluster.

## Use Helm Chart

Keptn is not currently compatible with
[vcluster](<https://github.com/loft-sh/vcluster>).
Keptn makes use of a custom scheduler
when running on Kubernetes v1.26 and earlier.
For Kubernetes v1.27 and later, scheduling is
implemented using
[Kubernetes scheduling gates](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/pod-scheduling-readiness/),
unless the `schedulingGatesEnabled` Helm value is set to `false`.
See
[Keptn integration with Scheduling](../architecture/components/scheduler/)
for details.

If Keptn is installed on a [vCluster](https://www.vcluster.com/) with
Kubernetes v1.26 or earlier, some extra configuration
needs to be added for full compatibility.
See
[Running Keptn with vCluster](install.md/#running-keptn-with-vcluster)
for more information.
