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.
Nice work! Kubernetes is a really neat and important piece of tech, but there's so much more tooling needed to make a team productive around it. Thanks for building awesome tooling and making it open source!
And of course - happy to officially be part of the open source club :)
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?
If it doesn't already exist, a multi-machine Vagrant setup would probably be helpful too.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
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: https://makers.airware.com/open-source/vili/
