Playing with Kubernetes

Last hacknight at Peertransfer we were playing with Kubernetes and Docker. Kubernetes is a Docker cluster orchestrator. In this article there is a very detailed description and explanation of what Kubernetes can do.
Here, I am going to transcribe my notes about how we deployed and tested Kubernetes basics in less than an hour.
First of all you need a DigitalOcean account and you have to deploy the Docker APP VM.  I like DigitalOcean because it is fast, cheap and clean, but you can use Docker installation wherever you want, for example in Kubernetes doc they use OS X.
In this test you need a GCE (Google Computing engine) account too, because we are going to deploy VMs (minions) on this platform.
