We're currently looking at moving our applications to k8s, and was wondering what deployment tools people are using? This week we are evaluating spinnaker, helm and bash wrappers for kubectl. There is concern over adding too many layers of abstraction and that KISS is the best approach.

I've got a simple setup that makes use of YAML files, Rake tasks, and raw kubectl. I've yet to take a look at helm or spinnaker but it's on my list. You really can go a long way just with K8s' own tooling.

We've written a bunch about Spinnaker & K8s at http://go.Armory.io/kubernetes ; hope that's helpful!

You had a big announcement about openshift.io. Everyone on HN signed up, but it's been months, but I'm still 'awaiting approval' Have you let anyone in? What's the value in all the marketing hype if you then don't let people in.

I can't speak much for OpenShift.io, which is a different product and as another commenter mentioned is just one way to work with OpenShift, with added team-based features on top of OpenShift. For instant Online hosted access, our Pro tier will immediately allow you to create an account if you sign up today. On our Starter (free) tier we are working hard to provision as many new user accounts as we can (this week we…

When the Developer Preview of OpenShift Online closed, the next news I heard from OpenShift was about OpenShift.io. Before and after that, I have only received comms about webinars from the mailing list, and I've been watching for news that hosted options were coming back.

If the new $50/mo Pro Tier and free Starter account has already been advertised in any way, my experience should tell you that it was ineffective... (just so you know)

Maybe this was done on purpose because you can only allow a limited number of users in while remaining within capacity (so telling all of your old Developer Preview users they can now go ahead and hit up this new free tier all at once is maybe a recipe for exactly what situation you're trying to avoid)

But until I found out otherwise in this thread, I was still under the impression that the only remaining ways for me to use OpenShift (after the Developer Preview was ended) were, to spin one up by hand and host it for ourselves, or to pay something like $10,000 for a managed cluster on AWS.

Edit: I just found an announcement of OpenShift Online Pro Tier in an e-mail dated July 31. So it looks like I'm not actually too far behind the curve; and it was announced, I just didn't read it...
