Google Container Engine (GKE) is certainly the easiest way to setup a Kubernetes cluster. We have been running it for a couple of months now and couldn't be happier. If you're wanting to stick with AWS I have always heard great things about the work CoreOS has been doing in this space: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-kubernetes.

It's great to hear GKE is meeting your needs so well! (Yes, I work on it.)

For 1.4, the Kubernetes Cluster Lifecycle and Ops SIGs are working on making the install and setup process much easier, including on AWS [1]. That won't magically turn it into Kubernetes as a Service, of course, but we hope it'll help users on other platforms.

That is what I keep hearing. With PetSets rolled out in 1.3, GKE is getting more competitive. At my current job (startup), we're probably going to move towards that.
