There needs to be a compelling way to run it on AWS for this to happen.

Please check out: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/blob/maste...

for turn up instructions on AWS, it's as easy as:

export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=aws; wget -q -O - https://get.k8s.io | bash

Ugh, to think people responsible for running large infrastructure installations are still piping random webpages to their shell in 2015.

It's not just them - doing things this way makes it seem like this is in any way acceptable. It's not. Stop it.

No wonder it's so easy for TAO.

Just download the script and check it first before running it then.
It's not me; I don't run scripts written by people who think it's okay to exec shit from the network.

It's for the people who don't know any better and see this anti-pattern everywhere and thereby begin to think it's okay or accepted. It's not.

What is a better alternative?
You mean like the work that Meteor is doing and hiring for https://www.meteor.com/jobs/core-developer-cloud-systems-eng... ?
