This week, we announced the availability of release 1.5.2 of The Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes. This is a pure upstream kubernetes developed in collaboration with Google that works across all major public clouds and private infrastructure.
We’re excited for people to try out the Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes, so we’ve put together an in depth tutorial video on how to get started. In this video, Canonical’s cloud community liaison – Jorge Castro, will walk you through the process of getting kubernetes up and running quickly and easily onto AWS using conjure-up from Canonical.
Conjure-up is a power tool for getting started with big software. It lets you summon up a big-software stack as a “spell” – a model of the stack, combined with extra know-how to get you from an installed stack to a fully usable one. Conjure-up uses our service modeling tool Juju to make this possible.

What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes, or K8s for short, is an open source platform pioneered by Google, which started as a simple container orchestration tool but has grown into a platform for deploying, monitoring and managing apps and services across clouds.
