Would you mind sharing links to any of the resources you used to get yourself going with kops on AWS? I'm in the midst of setting up my first cluster as we spea

  I used this tutorial: https://medium.com/containermind/how-to-create-a-kubernetes-cluster-on-aws-in-few-minutes-89dda10354f4 https://medium.com/containermind/how-to-create-a-kubernetes-... It is also nice that I could do this on macs and linux. I used my personal MBP to do some and my office machine (system76 running Ubuntu.) The best advice would be to create, test, delete over and over and over. I used personal AWS funds to do this while in grad school, so the added pressure of making the best use of limited funds was great -- i would spin up dozens and dozens of machines, join, run, tear down in short timeframes. As usual, choose a simple project. I chose multi-machine TensorFlow inference a model since that is something that is an obvious candidate for elasticity. Funny story - I once spun up a K8 cluster and tried to delete the machines manually on AWS and witnessed how incredibly robust the cluster is (new nodes kept getting re-instantiated.) Lessons learned: 1. K8 is robust; 2. use kops to also tear down the cluster; AWS has their own tutorial, but I didnt like that -- it was too focused on tangential details.
