I've updated the tutorial to include AWS a few days. Based on your feedback I've added a note regarding AWS support toward the top of the project README and in the project description field.

In some cases you'll find side-by-side labs that focus solely on AWS like this one for bootstrapping the underlying compute: https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way/b...

In other parts of the tutorial you'll find sections for both GCE and AWS that highlight the different commands required for each platform - only a small fraction of the tutorial requires something different between GCE and AWS. Both cloud providers are now treated equally in the updated tutorial.

The likely reason for this being posted to HN again today is that Kelsey added AWS instructions along the GCE ones.

There is a step by step guide from CoreOS: https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/getting-started.ht...

Never tried it though, so I can't speak of the quality (and of course it talks about running it on CoreOS).

I came across an AWS version while googling the other day. I figured I'd share in case that is more useful to you.
