**And more!** Consul can run directly on Kubernetes, so in addition to the
native integrations provided by Consul itself, any other tool built for
Kubernetes can choose to leverage Consul.
## "consul-k8s" Project
The dedicated [consul-k8s project](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-k8s)
contains the integration functionality between Consul and Kubernetes.
You generally will not need to invoke this project directly since the
[Helm chart](/docs/platform/k8s/helm.html) automates the installation and
configuration of the project when necessary.
We may integrate this functionality directly into Consul in the future,
but the separate project allows us to iterate and version the Kubernetes
functionality separately. Additionally, a lot of the functionality works
across multiple Consul versions, so you're able to update and resolve any
Kubernetes integration issues without also upgrading Consul itself which
can be more difficult.
