Setting up Kubernetes with kops

What is kops? It is the abbreviated term of Kubernetes Operation (https://github.com/kubernetes/kops). Similar to kubeadm, minikube, and kubespray, kops reduces the heavy duty of building up a Kubernetes cluster by ourselves. It helps in creation, and provides an interface to users for managing the clusters. Furthermore, kops achieves a more automatic installing procedure and delivers a production-level system. It targets to support dominate cloud platforms, such as AWS, GCE, and VMware vSphere. In this recipe, we will talk about how to run a Kubernetes cluster with kops.

Getting ready

Before our major tutorial, we will need to install kops on to your local host. It is a straightforward step...
