This topic outlines the process for administering Tanzu Application Service for Kubernetes (TAS for Kubernetes).

##<a id='administer'></a>Administer TAS for Kubernetes

To administer Tanzu Application Service (TAS) for Kubernetes after initial installation:

1. **Create TAS Orgs and Spaces**: Create orgs and spaces by following the instructions 
in the _TAS for VMs Administrator Guide_, 
see [Orgs, Spaces, Roles, and Permissions]
(https://docs.pivotal.io/platform/application-service/concepts/roles.html).  
<br>
    Developers create and manage their apps and service instances within spaces.
Every app, service, and route that developers create is scoped to a space. 
Each space belongs to an org in the TAS installation. 

1. **Create TAS Quota Plans**: Create quota plans by following the instructions 
in the _TAS for VMs Administrator Guide_, 
see [Creating and Modifying Quota Plans]
(https://docs.pivotal.io/platform/application-service/adminguide/quota-plans.html).  
<br>
    Quota plans are named sets of memory, service, and instance usage quotas that constrain 
the usage of organizations within a TAS installation.  

1. **Manage Service Brokers**: Make services available to app developers by 
registering the service brokers and making the service plans public. 
See 
[Managing Service Brokers](https://docs.pivotal.io/platform/application-service/services/managing-service-brokers.html) 
in the _TAS for VMs Administrator Guide_.  
<br>
    Developers typically need to connect their apps running on TAS to dependencies such as data services. 
Service brokers give developers a self-service mechanism to provision these dependencies 
and to connect them to their apps.
