If you're using (or want to use) Terraform and consider running k8s on AWS take a look at tectonic-installer[1] and its `vanilla_k8s` setting.
My opinion is that it's far better than kops `-target=terraform` output.
It's also using CoreOS rather than Debian which seems reasonable.

- STRML 9y agoThat does seem like a nice stack. Do you have an idea of the actual pricing past 10 nodes? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
- yebyen 9y agoI think the pricing starts at $19k/yr for a 10-node cluster (so $1900/yr/node). That's what I was given as "list price" when I asked, we are not using 10 nodes yet, but I anticipated that we'll need paid support before we are, and Tectonic is one of the only games in town. I'd guess you can negotiate that down somewhat, especially if your shop has some expertise in-house already (if you're not anticipating a lot of need or demand for their support team's help on a regular basis.) We compared this to RedHat+AWS OpenShift Dedicated which is priced significantly higher at $12000 for 4 nodes, on a per-node basis, but also OpenShift Dedicated has already built-in the cost of hosting the nodes.
- hijinks 9y agoYou can use coreos with kops. Add something like --image 595879546273/CoreOS-stable-1298.5.0-hvm
- bogomipz 9y agoIsn't Tectonic also based on kubeadm and Terraform? Kops and Tectonic felt very similar to me.
- lsvx 9y agoTectonic is built on Terraform but is not based on kubeadm. However, a Tectonic vanilla k8s cluster may be similar to a kubeadm one since they both leverage Bootkube to provide self-hosted k8s.
