1.2 has a lot of really nice additions such as infrastructure containers, the new config map API, service draining for node replacements, and many more.

Unfortunately I would be running it on AWS and HA still hasn't been worked out and manual setup is a bear.

1.2 includes multi-zone support, so your nodes can be in multiple AZs. This means that a failure of a single zone shouldn't interrupt your apps: http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/multiple-zones/

What is not yet in 1.2, but is planned for 1.3, is HA Master - so that failure of the zone which contains your master won't interrupt the control plane. (i.e. you will be able to update your apps even as zones are failing).

Ah, nice! That wasn't super clear to me but now that you mentioned it, perhaps it should have been.

Not your fault - I was a little slow on getting the docs written up!

Oh, cool. That's what I was looking for in the docs for the last 2 days.

The community is working on what we like to call "self-hosted" Kubernetes. This will help reduce the complexity of installation on all platforms. You can see more about it from my KubeCon keynote: https://youtu.be/A49xXiKZNTQ?t=6m The target is to have this all upstream in the next (v1.3) release.

Cool, thanks!

Awesome, will have a look. We run VPC per-environment, and support launching environments ad-hoc. So we would need to launch a Kubernetes cluster along with the environments. Anything to reduce the switching costs is very welcome :)

kube-aws is a tool that we built at CoreOS to make installation of kubernetes on AWS easier. We just made a new release (v0.5.1) and would love feedback on that. It is what we use in production here at CoreOS. https://github.com/coreos/coreos-kubernetes/releases

kube-aws is great! When do you expect to update to Kubernetes 1.2?

Running it on AWS is supported, and the team is making strides to make it even better! (Complain loudly via GitHub issues where you find problems).

Cluster Federation (a form of HA) is coming in 1.3.
