If you are using a released version of Kubernetes, you should refer to the docs that go with that version.
The latest release of this document can be found [here](http://releases.k8s.io/release-1.1/docs/getting-started-guides/coreos.md).Documentation for other releases can be found at releases.k8s.io.
Getting Started on CoreOS
There are multiple guides on running Kubernetes with CoreOS:
These guides are maintained by CoreOS and deploy Kubernetes the "CoreOS Way" with full TLS, the DNS add-on, and more. These guides pass Kubernetes conformance testing and we encourage you to test this yourself.
Guide and CLI tool for setting up a multi-node cluster on AWS. CloudFormation is used to set up a master and multiple workers in auto-scaling groups.
Guide to setting up a multi-node cluster on Vagrant. The deployer can independently configure the number of etcd nodes, master nodes, and worker nodes to bring up a fully HA control plane.
The quickest way to set up a Kubernetes development environment locally. As easy as git clone, vagrant up and configuring kubectl.
A generic guide to setting up an HA cluster on any cloud or bare metal, with full TLS. Repeat the master or worker steps to configure more machines of that role.
These guides are maintained by community members, cover specific platforms and use cases, and experiment with different ways of configuring Kubernetes on CoreOS.
Set up a single master, multi-worker cluster on your choice of platform: AWS, GCE, or VMware Fusion.
