+1 there has been a discussion of making a sig-on-premise/sig-bare-metal (with a fair bit of opposition from others) [1]. Would help to have your comments there as well.

The biggest complication is around Ingress and load balancers. https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/issues/23

https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/issues/17

The problem is that many people point towards kube-the-hard way.. which is NOT production ready. For example scaling ingress itself - do you do deployments versus daemonset? How do you set up ingresses to pass through source ip.

a lot of this is taken care for the cloud...but NOT for bare metal.

It also has problems with using certificates when reporting etcd health:

I was writing a blog about installing it on bare metal, but this issue got me blocked.

could you ping on slack on sig-cluster-ops? thats the defacto meeting ground for bare metal issues.

Though honestly i think it is a fundamental issue and not specifically related to BM.

sig-onprem is coming, it was decided at the last community meeting, expect an announcement soonish.
