# Getting Set Up

Develocity Provenance Governor is delivered as a containerized application that can be deployed using Kubernetes or Docker. Proper setup requires careful configuration of prerequisites, credentials, and policies.

*   [Prerequisites](https://docs.gradle.com/develocity/provenance-governor/1.7/setup-prerequisites/) - Ensure you have the necessary infrastructure, integrations, and credentials in place before deployment.
    
*   Deployment — choose your deployment method:
    
    *   [Kubernetes Deployment](https://docs.gradle.com/develocity/provenance-governor/1.7/setup-deploy/) — recommended for production environments with existing Kubernetes infrastructure.
        
    *   [Docker Deployment](https://docs.gradle.com/develocity/provenance-governor/1.7/setup-deploy-docker/) — run directly with Docker, suitable for environments without Kubernetes.
        
    
*   [Application Configuration Overview](https://docs.gradle.com/develocity/provenance-governor/1.7/app-config-overview/)
    

> [!TIP]
> For a quick local trial before committing to a full deployment, the Quickstart gets you running on a local k3d cluster in under 10 minutes.
