I am attending Google Cloud NEXT[1] right now, and there are a lot of breakout sessions on kubernetes and Container Engine. Google Cloud and Container Engine (GKE) makes creating a kube cluster super painless. It honestly just works and only takes a few minutes to spin up a kube cluster. GKE also has baked in awesomeness that is not available in the open source version such as automatic master and node version upgrades and automatic repair. I'd recommend just using GKE instead of trying to run kubernetes on your own or using a lesser platform such as Flynn or Hyper. Google Cloud also has their own container registry which is nice since it is tightly integrated with GKE. [1] - https://cloudnext.withgoogle.com/ https://cloudnext.withgoogle.com/
