An all-in-one installer in the style of kops. Based on docker-machine to create all the required virtual machine then it deploys all the components without ansible, written in go for easy distribution, production grade, Targeting aws and azure so it will also create load balncer network and so on. I believe many once you have a serverless Environnement you may not want also Kubernetes. And openwhisk instead of lambda will give vendor independence.-- Michele Sciabarra [email protected]
