Kubernetes on CoreOS is a good option. Tectonic makes the setup part relatively easy.

Ok, thanks a lot. Since we're on it, is there any open-source software available that is specifically targeted at easily setting up storage servers (maybe with an S3 like SDK)? I found myself pretty much forced to use GCS because of a lack of good alternatives.

I haven't used it personally, but Minio [0] is something I've heard mentioned more than once.

Minio is very nice, but sadly it only allows one set of credentials – I’d have preferred being able to separate the access permissions of each service, but that’s not supported.

You will likely save a lot of headache to just use AWS or GCE. Running your own kube is a multiple week project.

I was a total noob at this, and started setting up a kube cluster on 10th of May, and I managed to set up a working cluster by the middle of the week. It’s actually not as complicated as expected.

I still agree with you, because no one should take setting up and running kube lightly – it’s actually a lot of work.
