Hey everyone, cofounders of Redspread here, Mackenzie and Dan. We built Spread, our open source command line tool to build and deploy Docker to Kubernetes in one command, to enable rapid iteration with Kubernetes and provide the easiest way to deploy Docker to prod. Our mission is to enable people to own their own deployment processes and infrastructure, and we're very passionate about that (see our philosophy.md). W…

rolling updates to services would be nice. running this as a service (possibly deployed on the kubernetes cluster) to facilitate this via web hooks would be amazing.

yes, rolling updates are definitely on our roadmap. right now everything is client side - we’re building a light kubernetes workflow - but web hooks are a great idea

How is this any different than what google provides out of the box? I build a cluster and just deploy a container to a pod.

For an argument on why you should build custom workflows on top of Kubernetes instead of using it directly, and how easy that is to do, see http://blog.jonparrott.com/building-a-paas-on-kubernetes/

This is cool - We are using Convox to manage an ECS cluster at the moment, but Kubernetes/Container Engine seems to be the better system overall. Container Engine is very complex though (like ECS), so a tool which makes it easier to work with would make it much more practical for us to move over.

Excuse the self promotion, but if you're interested also check out a UI Docker/K8s deployment tool my team open-sourced earlier in the week. It's opinionated, but it might meet some of your needs:

Do you have recommendations for another tool to set up a Kubernetes cluster in the first place? At first glance, it seems somewhat complex and easy to misconfigure. Or is that something you plan to support in redspread as well?

Hey - so right now it's easiest to set up a cluster on GCP. I wrote some simplified directions: https://blog.redspread.com/2016/02/04/google-container-engin...

We don't plan on getting into the hosting game but we have considered making it easy to set up a free temporary test cluster so people can play around with Spread. Would that be useful?
