Getting started with k8s

[Pierre Ozoux]

Hello!

I'm an old CoreOS user, I develop this little Docker PaaS: http://libre.sh and I plan to move it to k8s.

I'd like this PaaS be cloud agnostic, but I'll start with AWS.
And I see 3 projects to deploy k8s to AWS.
https://github.com/coreos/kube-aws
https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/bootkube
https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/

My question is how the 3 compare?
(I really love this kind of pages: https://www.consul.io/intro/vs/index.html )

My ultimate goal down the road would be to have a cloud agnostic tool to manage k8s cluster on GCE, AWS, Azure or BareMetal, which tool would you recommend?
My first though was Terraform, but maybe there is a better option?

Thanks for your help!

Pierre

PS: I'll be in FOSDEM to present http://libre.sh https://fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/libre_sh/

I’ve used kube-aws and kops, I highly recommend kops for AWS, we had problems with CloudFormation blowing up for various reasons when using kube-aws.  Most likely just a drawback of relying CF.  IIRC there are plans to merge kubeadm, bootkube, and kops together in the works.

I should also mention, kops coreos support is brand new and still not fully tested or released, the same goes for GCE support.  It has no bare-metal support at all right now and I don’t believe they have plans for it anytime soon.

Neat, TIL libre.sh is a thing. 

Adding to Blake's response, CoreOS' way of doing this is https://coreos.com/tectonic/

Only note I can add re: installer comparisons, is of the three you listed, I believe only BootKube does self-hosting.
