Cluster environments provide a consolidated view of which CI [environments ](../../ci/environments.md ) are
deployed to the Kubernetes cluster and it:
- Shows the project and the relevant environment related to the deployment.
- Displays the status of the pods for that environment.
## Overview
With cluster environments, you can gain insight into:
- Which projects are deployed to the cluster.
- How many pods are in use for each project's environment.
- The CI job that was used to deploy to that environment.
Access to cluster environments is restricted to [group maintainers and
owners](../permissions.md#group-members-permissions)
## Usage
In order to:
- Track environments for the cluster, you must
[deploy to a Kubernetes cluster ](../project/clusters/index.md#deploying-to-a-kubernetes-cluster )
successfully.
- Show pod usage correctly, you must
[enable Deploy Boards ](../project/deploy_boards.md#enabling-deploy-boards ).
