These are packer templates used to create AWS AMI that run Kubernetes on a single node. You will need to have Packer installed on your local machine and a AWS account.
Support for additional cloud providers is in the works, PR welcome. Currently only Ubuntu and Atomic are supported.
On Ubuntu a docker based deloyment is used while on Atomic, the default systemd units are used.
Pick your OS of choice (i.e Ubuntu or Atomic)
$ cd ubuntu
$ packer build k8s.json

--> amazon-ebs: AMIs were created:

Start an instance using the AMI that was built.
$ aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-913fe1e2 --instance-type t2.micro --key-name k8s
SSH to the running instance and enjoy Kubernetes on a single node
$ ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa_k8s ubuntu@52.31.45.173
$ ./kubectl get pods
