This is a sample of how to setup and provides the foundation for your very own Kubernetes cluster. The process of using KOPS in this tutorial is not much different then managing a long lived cluster and provides a good baseline to get started. In my opinion, you should use industry leading Kubernetes management from Google Kubernetes Engine (GKS) or AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), then use a tool such as tool such as Kops to provision your testing cluster as a last resort. I would heavily recommend against rolling your own cluster, as management over time can become complex and time-consuming (in large companies they have whole teams dedicated to managing and running the clusters, it is a full time job).

That’s all there is to it, the provisioning of the cluster is the easy part once you understand the pieces.
