I would say if you really wanted to make this easier for streamers to use you could use helm to package up a kubernetes configuration (a bit of work) and then put it into something like google cloud launcher so you could just point and click to set this up.

Not quite point-and-click, but at my church, we just type "terraform apply" every week to set up a live streaming system using:

Might be useful for others!

Great to get such a useful tool shared here Bro! I'll shoot you an email for further chat... Stay blessed!!!
I agree, one-click deploy would be the next step. Hadn't seen helm, I was debating between k8s and rancher.

If possible I'd like to avoid an opinionated hosting service like Google Cloud Launcher or AWS ECS, but I recognize that it's probably necessary. The only open source one-click deploy I've seen is a church service[1], but the author of that project accomplished it by with a separate app that provisions the necessary DO droplets via API and presenting the credentials to the user.

Rancher 2.0 is a Certified Kubernetes implementation:
