Lab 4 - No kubefed tarfile

[bhpratt]

This command curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/kubernetes-client-darwin-amd64.tar.gz

appears to be targetting the standard kubernetes cli, not kubernetes federation. Because I can't download the kubefed cli, I can't continue w/subsequent steps.

BTW, are we supposed to use kubefed? I heard kube federation is getting replaced.

@linsun That's a question for your team, I think. kubefed was in the course when I started editing it. We can pull it out if it's being replaced.

@linsun We've asked Nilesh to follow up on this, but any guidance from you would be appreciated. My current ask is to know whether or not we should try and pull out the kubefed portion of the course or leave it.

@kennjason I researched a bit, I think it is fine to use it for now as it is in the official k8s documentation, for example https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubefed/ is updated in 12/2017. I did hear from side conversation from the community that K8s Federation is changing/being replaced... just some heads up on that.

This is good info, thank you. We released V1.0 yesterday afternoon and sent it to publishing with the developerWorks team, so we're shipping with it!
