To successfully deploy and configure Kubernetes on a VPS, you need to follow several steps. First, ensure that your VPS has a Linux operating system installed, as Kubernetes works best with this OS. Next, install Docker on your VPS, as Kubernetes uses Docker for containerization.

After installing Docker, proceed to install Kubernetes. You can follow the instructions on the official Kubernetes website. You need to install the Kubernetes control plane components — kube-apiserver, kube-controller-manager, and kube-scheduler — as well as the node components — kubelet and kube-proxy.

After installing the Kubernetes components, you need to configure the cluster. Create configuration files for the cluster and nodes, specifying the necessary parameters and settings. Then, initialize the cluster using the command 

kubeadm init

.

After successful cluster initialization, add nodes to the cluster using the command 

kubeadm join

. Make sure that all nodes have successfully joined the cluster and are working correctly.

For managing and monitoring the Kubernetes cluster, it is recommended to use the Kubernetes Dashboard. Install and configure the Kubernetes Dashboard to conveniently manage your cluster.

Also, don’t forget to properly configure the network and storage for your Kubernetes cluster. You can use various plugins for networking (for example, Calico or Flannel) and storage (for example, Rook or GlusterFS).

After completing all these steps, your Kubernetes cluster should be ready for use. Check the cluster’s operability by running a few test applications and making sure everything works as expected.
