Oh, I was planning to recommend Kubeadm.  Kubeadm is good enough for
most users, these days, and it's actually a good way to test new
Kubernetes releases.  And the Kubeadm team is enthusiastic enough to
maybe offer us some help.

My primary concern with making sure that Kube is available on FAH/CAH is
that I want Kubernetes developers regarding AH as a reasonable target
platform for development.  We also want to make sure not to abandon our
existing AH+Kube users, but presumably installation docs are not the
primary thing those users need.

I wouldn't *mind* having a "the hard way" doc for FAH/CAH, but I can't
commit to putting in the time it would require to write it, since I'm
not sure who the target user for it is.  Someone who wants something
"production" is going to install Origin, no?
