Kubernetes can be used to deploy anything that you can put into a Docker container, including support for persistent volumes (ie "mode 1" applications). I've been using it recently to host XMPP servers, gitlab, jenkins, etc. I haven't installed Kubernetes directly, but I have setup and used Openshift v3 which adds a PaaS solution on top of Kubernetes. Setting it up is really easy, and they've release an all-in-one VM to demo it out: http://www.openshift.org/vm/ http://www.openshift.org/vm/ The other option is to use a hosted solution. Google Container Engine (https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/ https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/) is essentially hosted Kubernetes. PS I work for Red Hat. OpenShift V3 is our product, and we contribute a lot to Kubernetes.
