# Register a Cluster

Register and manage pre-existing clusters as an external cluster in gopaddle

{% hint style="info" %}
This section is applicable only for SaaS and Enterprise Editions only.
{% endhint %}

A pre-existing self-managed or a cloud managed EKS, GKE cluster can be registered in gopaddle as an external cluster. Once the cluster is registered, gopaddle can be used to visualize and manage the resources in the cluster. gopaddle also installs gopaddle's discovery kubegent, Prometheus and Grafana in the `gopaddle-servers` namespace to monitor the cluster and the workloads.
