Kubernetes QuickStart
Kubernetes is an open-source system for application deployment that is supported by all of the major cloud vendors. There is also good support for fixed scale on-prem deployments on virtual or bare metal and even as auto-scalable deployments using virtual systems management solutions like VMWare vSphere.
About this task
For those who have never used Kubernetes, the following document can help set up a basic, non-production cluster fairly quickly on a RedHat Enterprise Linux or CentOS box. A production-ready deployment of Kubernetes isn't really within the scope of this document, but the basics described here apply at least conceptually to the same deployment at cloud-scale.
One option is to simply use Minikube This can be done on your Windows/Mac desktop just to try out Kubernetes and get some experience before deploying at the production-level.
As the goal of Sametime Meetings is to have users communicate together from remote systems, there can be some networking hurdles to get past with Minikube. One way to work-around that is with iptables to have packets forwarded from your host Mac/Windows system to the internal Linux VM where the minikube containers run.
