Add docs for kops, explain when kops and when kubeadm
Quick getting started guide for kops. Also try to provide some guidance as to when to use kops and when kubeadm; based on discussions with sig-cluster-lifecycle that kubeadm is a building block and not a provisioning tool. I used "kubeadm" as a simplifying concept for "kubeadm and the other work done by sig-cluster-lifecycle that kubeadm is a part of", in that tools that don't (yet) use kubeadm are still leveraging the kubeadm stream of work.

Be sure to read the [limitations](#limitations); in particular note that kubeadm doesn't have great support for

automatically configuring cloud providers. Please refer to the specific cloud provider documentation or

use another provisioning system.**

kubeadm assumes you have a set of machines (virtual or real) that are up and running. It is designed
|
||||
to be part of a larger provisioning system - or just for easy manual provisioning. kubeadm is a great
|
||||
choice where you have your own infrastructure (e.g. bare metal), or where you have an existing
|
||||
orchestration system (e.g. Puppet) that you have to integrate with.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are not constrained, other tools build on kubeadm to give you complete clusters:
|
||||
|
||||
* On GCE, [Google Container Engine](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/) gives you turn-key Kubernetes
|
||||
* On AWS, [kops](kops) makes installation and cluster management easy (and supports high availability)
