    Cool, looks like it's not that hard to try out Kubernetes :)

    Some of the Kubernetes terminology is explained more thoroughly here:

    Also, for fun:

    Which is faster? Setting up a @kubernetesio cluster vs. making a latte?

    Google's response went way beyond my expectations here.

    It's great to see more options out there for folks to start playing with Kubernetes. It can be a bit daunting initially, especially for newcomers.

    As an alternative, I started a project called "Corekube" (https://github.com/metral/corekube) that allows you to kick the tires on Kubernetes on top of CoreOS.

    Corekube is an OpenStack based Heat template that just requires an OpenStack provider to stand up a Kubernetes cluster in minutes - the cluster comes complete with a private Etcd discovery service, 1 K8s master, 3 K8s minions, and a logic coordinator/deployment operator aka "the Overlord" which interacts with Etcd, Fleet and K8s via their API's to set things up.

    Hadn't realized Kubernetes was written in Go. Cool.
