# Setup replication cluster with Kubernetes

> **Info**
>
> This guide is for **Memgraph Community** users who want to set up data
> replication across multiple instances. If you have a **Memgraph Enterprise**
> license, we recommend using the [high availability
> features](https://memgraph.com/docs/clustering/high-availability) instead, which provide automatic
> failover, load balancing, and comprehensive cluster management capabilities.

> **Info**
>
> Memgraph Community currently has **no built-in Helm chart** for replication.
> Only the High Availability (Enterprise) edition provides official Helm support:
> [Memgraph HA Helm
> Chart](https://github.com/memgraph/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/memgraph-high-availability).
>
> To deploy a replication cluster with Community edition on Kubernetes, you will
> need to create the manifests yourself.
> A common approach is to:
>
> 1. Follow the [Docker replication
>    guide](https://memgraph.com/docs/clustering/replication/setup-replication-cluster-docker) to
>    understand the required roles, ports, and setup steps.
> 2. Use the [Memgraph standalone Helm
>    chart](https://github.com/memgraph/helm-charts/tree/main/charts/memgraph) or
>    your own Kubernetes manifests to deploy:
>    - One MAIN instance
>    - One or more REPLICA instances
> 3. Configure replication by running the appropriate Cypher commands (`SET
>    REPLICATION ROLE`, `REGISTER REPLICA`, etc.) through a client.

At the moment, this section serves as a reference for users deploying Memgraph
Community clusters on Kubernetes manually.
