# Multi-cluster management and federation

With multi-cluster management, you can centralize control of multiple Kubernetes clusters in a single management plane, with federated endpoint identity, federated services, and multi-cluster networking.

## Setting up multi-cluster management

##### [Create a Calico Enterprise management cluster](https://docs.tigera.io/calico-enterprise/3.21/multicluster/set-up-multi-cluster-management/standard-install/create-a-management-cluster.md)

[Create a Calico Enterprise management cluster to manage multiple clusters from a single management plane.](https://docs.tigera.io/calico-enterprise/3.21/multicluster/set-up-multi-cluster-management/standard-install/create-a-management-cluster.md)

## Setting up multi-cluster management using Helm

##### [Create a Calico Enterprise management cluster](https://docs.tigera.io/calico-enterprise/3.21/multicluster/set-up-multi-cluster-management/helm-install/create-a-management-cluster-helm.md)
