You need to run a bunch of shell scripts including cluster/kube-up.sh, which are documented to work on AWS, but which are completely untested before release, and which were recently broken for almost a month. I'm currently running Kubernetes under Rancher. It's still a pretty steep learning curve, with some very well-hidden but essential configuration parameters, but at least it actually works if you follow the instructions.

The situation has been improved quite a bit with kubeadm. Getting a basic cluster set up is a lot easier with that.

I've found Rancher to best way to setup a k8s cluster as well.

Even the "Kubernetes of Children" book made my head spin.
