kops - Kubernetes Operations

The easiest way to get a production grade Kubernetes cluster up and running.

What is kops?

We like to think of it as kubectl for clusters.

kops helps you create, destroy, upgrade and maintain production-grade, highlyavailable, Kubernetes clusters from the command line. AWS (Amazon Web Services)is currently officially supported, with GCE and OpenStack in beta support, and VMware vSpherein alpha, and other platforms planned.

Can I see it in action?
