+# Kubernetes 
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Kubernetes v1.11+ (for PriorityClass)
+- Minikube (for now)
+
+### Starting minikube with v1.11
+
+As of minikube 0.28.2, the default version of kubernetes is 1.10.0. In order to
+start a local cluster with v1.11.0, run the following:
+
+```
+minikube start --kubernetes-version=v1.11.0 --cpus 4
+```
+
+### Geth's Genesis file
+
+This file is the default provided by geth-genesis secret. 
+
+```json
+{

+    "alloc": {                                                                  
+       "717c3a6e4cbd476c2312612155eb233bf498dd5b":                              
+         { "balance": "0x1337000000000000000000" }                             
+    }                                                                           
+}
+```
+
+The private key for the allocation above is:
+
+```text
+783da8ef5343c3019748506305d400bca8c324a5819f3a7f7fbf0c0a0d799b09
+```
+
+NOTE: Obviously, do not use this wallet key for anything with real money on it!
+
+To update the genesis secret, change value in geth/genesis.secret.yaml to the
+base64 encoded string for the genesis.json.
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+cat /tmp/genesis.json | json-minify | base64
+```
+
+### Deploying Geth Mainchain
+
+```bash
+bazel run //k8s:everything.apply
+```
+
+This creates a few nodes and one miner with CPU restrictions. After ~30 
+minutes, the miner has generated the DAG and begins mining. This seems iterate
+over 2 DAG epochs dispite the flags set for 1 DAG in memory and in disk. 
+
+Note: This can be improved by giving the miner more CPU.
+
+### Accessing Geth Services
+
+Check out the ethstats dashboard by querying minikube for the service URL.
+
+```bash
+minikube service geth-ethstats --url
+```
+
+Accessing the geth nodes.
+
+```bash
+minikube service geth-nodes --url
+
+# Example output
+http://192.168.99.100:30451
+http://192.168.99.100:32164
+```
+
+The first URL will be the rpc endpoint and the second URL will be the websocket
+endpoint.
+
+So we can use these values locally to connect to our local cluster.
+
+```bash
+bazel run //beacon-chain -- --web3provider=ws://192.168.99.100:32164
+```

+# Priority classes
+# 
+# These values allow us to assign importance to pods so that the scheduler can
+# appropriately preempt low priority pods when a higher priority pod is pending
+# scheduling.
+#
+# Example:
+# 1) Running a tool to query production data for one-off analysis: best-effort-priority. 
+# This tool is not mission critical and should not use resources that are 
+# necessary for production applications
+#
+# 2) A long running cron job that encodes data with a large SLO window. This
+# would be ideal for a batch-priority job since would be acceptable for 
+# temporary evictions if high priority jobs need to scale.
+#
+# 3) User facing application services. This type of work falls under the default
+# priority: production-priority. This is suitable for anything that cannot 
+# tolerate eviction or user experience will suffer.
+#
+# 4) A job that alerts when mission critical containers are offline. This type
+# of job should have a very high priority and never be evicted. This is
+# considered the monitoring-priority and should be used sparingly. 
+#  
+# See: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/pod-priority-preemption/
