# Create your cluster
Creating your cluster requires two steps:
1. Creating the necessary resources in your cloud environment
2. Bootstrapping the Constellation cluster and setting up a connection
See the [architecture](../architecture/orchestration.md) section for details on the inner workings of this process.
:::tip
If you don't have a cloud subscription, check out [MiniConstellation](../getting-started/first-steps-local.md), which lets you set up a local Constellation cluster using virtualization.

## The *create* step
This step creates the necessary resources for your cluster in your cloud environment.
Before you create the cluster, make sure to have a [valid configuration file](./config.md).
### Create
Choose the initial size of your cluster.
The following command creates a cluster with one control-plane and two worker nodes:
```bash
constellation create --control-plane-nodes 1 --worker-nodes 2
```
For details on the flags, consult the command help via `constellation create -h`.
*create* stores your cluster's state into a [`terraform.tfstate`](../architecture/orchestration.md#cluster-creation-process) file in your workspace.
## The *init* step
The following command initializes and bootstraps your cluster:
```bash
constellation init
```
Next, configure `kubectl` for your cluster:
```bash
export KUBECONFIG="$PWD/constellation-admin.conf"
```
🏁 That's it. You've successfully created a Constellation cluster.
