CNCF supported k8s OSS distributions

bootkube - tool for launching self-hosted Kubernetes clusters
kops - run production-grade, highly available, k8s clusters on AWS, GCE or DigitalOcean
kube-aws - create, update and destroy Kubernetes clusters on AWS, Highly available and scalable k8s clusters backed by multi-AZ deployment and Node Pools
kube-up - start k8s in GCE, part of Kubernetes
kubeadm - toolkit that helps you bootstrap a best-practice Kubernetes cluster in an easy, reasonably secure and extensible way, part of Kubernetes
kubernetes-anywhere - k8s in the cloud
kubespray - create HA cluster on AWS, GCE, Azure, OpenStack, vSphere or Baremetal
minikube - run Kubernetes locally, single-node k8s cluster inside a VM/Docker

Use your own laptop...

Minikube - single node, easy, can be docker based (--vm-driver=none) or virtualization needed, addons, mount local dir to pods
Kubeadm - official Kubernetes tool for installations, multinode, multi distro
Kubespray - multinode, more complex, many options, HA, enterprise, multi distro

Use Public Cloud...

Many Public Cloud providers has "Kubernetes as a Service", depends on costs...

https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kubespray
Started by a group of independent developers as "Kargo" project
Install Production Ready Kubernetes Cluster with HA
Ansible based
Kubernetes Incubated project
Supported distributions: Container Linux by CoreOS, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS/RHEL 7, Fedora/CentOS Atomic, openSUSE Leap 42.3/Tumbleweed
Network Plugins: flannel, calico, canal, cilium, contiv, weave
Many options: https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kubespray/tree/master/inventory/sample/group_vars

3 VMs, all 3 have etcd installed, all 3 are nodes (running pods), 2 of them run master components

Requirements:

Script:

https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-kubeadm/
You install Docker and the official Kubernetes packages
Select a master host, run kubeadm init
This sets up the control plane and outputs a kubeadm join […] command which includes a secure token
On each host selected to be a worker node, run the kubeadm join […] command from above
Install a pod network
