If on-demand provisioning is important, we recommend using [VM-based](#vm-based) backends as they already support auto-scaling. -->

??? info "Required permissions"
The following Kubernetes permissions are sufficient for `dstack` to work:

```yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
name: dstack-backend
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["namespaces"]
verbs: ["get", "create"]
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["pods"]
verbs: ["get", "create", "delete"]
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["services"]
verbs: ["get", "create", "delete"]
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["nodes"]
verbs: ["list"]
```

Ensure you've created a ClusterRoleBinding to grant the role to the user or the service account you're using.
