+## Overview
+
+This quickstart shows you how to easily install a Kubernetes cluster on AWS.
+It uses a tool called [`kops`](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops).
+
+kops is an opinionated provisioning system:
+
+* Fully automated installation
+* Uses DNS to identify clusters
+* Self-healing: everything runs in Auto-Scaling Groups
+* Limited OS support (Debian preferred, Ubuntu 16.04 supported, early support for CentOS & RHEL)
+* High-Availability support
+* Can directly provision, or generate terraform manifests
+
+If your opinions differ from these you may prefer to build your own cluster using [kubeadm](kubeadm) as
+a building block.  kops builds on the kubeadm work.
+
+## Creating a cluster
+
+### (1/5) Install kops
+
+Download kops from the [releases page](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases) (it is also easy to build from source):
+
+On MacOS:
+
+```
+wget https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/v1.4.1/kops-darwin-amd64
+chmod +x kops-darwin-amd64
+mv kops-darwin-amd64 /usr/local/bin/kops
+```
+
+On Linux:
+
+```
+wget https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/v1.4.1/kops-linux-amd64
+chmod +x kops-linux-amd64
+mv kops-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/kops
+```
+
+### (2/5) Create a route53 domain for your cluster
+
+kops uses DNS for discovery, both inside the cluster and so that you can reach the kubernetes API server
+from clients.
+
+kops has a strong opinion on the cluster name: it should be a valid DNS name.  By doing so you will
+no longer get your clusters confused, you can share clusters with your colleagues unambigiously,
+and you can reach them without relying on remembering an IP address. 
+
+You can, and probably should, use subdomains to divide your clusters.  As our example we will use
+`useast1.dev.example.com`.  The API server endpoint will then be `api.useast1.dev.example.com`.
+
+A Route53 hosted zone can serve subdomains.  Your hosted zone could be `useast1.dev.example.com`,
+but also `dev.example.com` or even `example.com`.  kops works with any of these, so typically
+you choose for organization reasons (e.g. you are allowed to create records under `dev.example.com`,
+but not under `example.com`).
+
+Let's assume you're using `dev.example.com` as your hosted zone.  You create that hosted zone using
+the [normal process](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/CreatingNewSubdomain.html), or
+with a command such as `aws route53 create-hosted-zone --name dev.example.com --caller-reference 1`.
+
+You must then set up your NS records in the parent domain, so that records in the domain will resolve.  Here,
+you would create NS records in `example.com` for `dev`.  If it is a root domain name you would configure the NS
+records at your domain registrar (e.g. `example.com` would need to be configured where you bought `example.com`).
+
+This step is easy to mess up (it is the #1 cause of problems!)  You can double-check that
+your cluster is configured correctly if you have the dig tool by running:
+
+`dig NS dev.example.com`
+
+You should see the 4 NS records that Route53 assigned your hosted zone.
+
+### (3/5) Create an S3 bucket to store your clusters state
+
+kops lets you manage your clusters even after installation.  To do this, it must keep track of the clusters
+that you have created, along with their configuration, the keys they are using etc.  This information is stored
+in an S3 bucket.  S3 permissions are used to control access to the bucket.
+
+Multiple clusters can use the same S3 bucket, and you can share an S3 bucket between your colleagues that
+administer the same clusters - this is much easier than passing around kubecfg files.  But anyone with access
+to the S3 bucket will have administrative access to all your clusters, so you don't want to share it beyond
+the operations team.
+
+So typically you have one S3 bucket for each ops team (and often the name will correspond
+to the name of the hosted zone above!)
+
+In our example, we chose `dev.example.com` as our hosted zone, so let's pick `clusters.dev.example.com` as
+the S3 bucket name.
+
+* Export `AWS_PROFILE` (if you need to select a profile for the AWS CLI to work)
+
+* Create the S3 bucket using `aws s3 mb s3://clusters.dev.example.com`
+
+* You can `export KOPS_STATE_STORE=s3://clusters.dev.example.com` and then kops will use this location by default. 
+   We suggest putting this in your bash profile or similar. 
+
+
+### (4/5) Build your cluster configuration
+
+Run "kops create cluster" to create your cluster configuration:
+
+`kops create cluster --zones=us-east-1c useast1.dev.example.com`
+
+kops will create the configuration for your cluster.  Note that it _only_ creates the configuration, it does
+not actually create the cloud resources - you'll do that in the next step with a `kops update cluster`.  This
+give you an opportunity to review the configuration or change it.
+
+It prints commands you can use to explore further:
+
+* List your clusters with: `kops get cluster`
+* Edit this cluster with: `kops edit cluster useast1.dev.example.com`
+* Edit your node instance group: `kops edit ig --name=useast1.dev.example.com nodes`
+* Edit your master instance group: `kops edit ig --name=useast1.dev.example.com master-us-east-1c`
+
+If this is your first time using kops, do spend a few minutes to try those out!  An instance group is a
+set of instances, which will be registered as kubernetes nodes.  On AWS this is implemented via auto-scaling-groups.
+You can have several instance groups, for example if you wanted nodes that are a mix of spot and on-demand instances, or
+GPU and non-GPU instances.
+
+
+### (5/5) Create the cluster in AWS
+
+Run "kops update cluster" to create your cluster in AWS:
+
+`kops update cluster useast1.dev.awsdata.com --yes`
+
+That takes a few seconds to run, but then your cluster will likely take a few minutes to actually be ready.
+`kops update cluster` will be the tool you'll use whenever you change the configuration of your cluster; it
+applies the changes you have made to the configuration to your cluster - reconfiguring AWS or kubernetes as needed.
+
+For example, after you `kops edit ig nodes`, then `kops update cluster --yes` to apply your configuration, and
+sometimes you will also have to `kops rolling-update cluster` to roll out the configuration immediately.
+
+Without `--yes`, `kops update cluster` will show you a preview of what it is going to do.  This is handy
+for production clusters!

+## kubeadm is multi-platform
+
+kubeadm deb packages and binaries are built for amd64, arm and arm64, following the [multi-platform proposal](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/docs/proposals/multi-platform.md).
+
+deb-packages are released for ARM and ARM 64-bit, but not RPMs (yet, reach out if there's interest).
+
+Anyway, ARM had some issues when making v1.4, see [#32517](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/32517) [#33485](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33485), [#33117](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33117) and [#33376](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/33376). 
+
+However, thanks to the PRs above, `kube-apiserver` works on ARM from the `v1.4.1` release, so make sure you're at least using `v1.4.1` when running on ARM 32-bit
+
+The multiarch flannel daemonset can be installed this way. Make sure you replace `ARCH=amd64` with `ARCH=arm` or `ARCH=arm64` if necessary.
+

+And obviously replace `ARCH=amd64` with `ARCH=arm` or `ARCH=arm64` depending on the platform you're running on.

 ## Limitations
 
 Please note: `kubeadm` is a work in progress and these limitations will be addressed in due course.
 
-1. The cluster created here doesn't have cloud-provider integrations, so for example won't work with (for example) [Load Balancers](/docs/user-guide/load-balancer/) (LBs) or [Persistent Volumes](/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/walkthrough/) (PVs).
-   To easily obtain a cluster which works with LBs and PVs Kubernetes, try [the "hello world" GKE tutorial](/docs/hellonode) or [one of the other cloud-specific installation tutorials](/docs/getting-started-guides/).
+1. The cluster created here doesn't have cloud-provider integrations by default, so for example it doesn't work automatically with (for example) [Load Balancers](/docs/user-guide/load-balancer/) (LBs) or [Persistent Volumes](/docs/user-guide/persistent-volumes/walkthrough/) (PVs).
+   To set up kubeadm with CloudProvider integrations (it's experimental, but try), refer to the [kubeadm reference](/docs/admin/kubeadm/) document.
 
    Workaround: use the [NodePort feature of services](/docs/user-guide/services/#type-nodeport) for exposing applications to the internet.
