NOTICE
-As of March 14, 2017, the Kubernetes SIG-Docs-Maintainers group have begun migration of the User Guide content as announced previously to the SIG Docs community through the kubernetes-sig-docs group and kubernetes.slack.com #sig-docs channel.
-The user guides within this section are being refactored into topics within Tutorials, Tasks, and Concepts. Anything that has been moved will have a notice placed in its previous location as well as a link to its new location. The reorganization implements the table of contents (ToC) outlined in the kubernetes-docs-toc document and should improve the documentation's findability and readability for a wider range of audiences.
