> I don't want to break your hopes but stateful containers will only ever run on GCE and AWS. Actually Kubernetes is starting to work on support for persistent local volumes; we know the lack of this feature is a significant barrier for running some stateful applications on Kubernetes, particularly on bare metal. The concrete proposal for how we are thinking to do it is at https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30044 The high-level feature requests are at https://github.com/kubernetes/features/issues/121 and https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/7562 (Disclosure: I work on Kubernetes at Google.)

There is a ton of work going on upstream to make Kubernetes easier to install and manage in production environments. A big chunk of that work is what is being called "Self-Hosted Kubernetes". The idea is that once you bring up a single machine running a Kubelet you can bootstrap the other services that make up a Kubernetes cluster from there. You can learn more about that here: https://coreos.com/blog/self-hosted-kubernetes.html As far as TLS there is ongoing work upstream to add a CSR system for the "agents" called Kubelets. This will allow people to automate the TLS setup and simplify the management. Details are tracked here: https://github.com/kubernetes/features/issues/43 Also, there are more discussions happening to improve the first install experience. https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/30361#issuecom... https://github.co
