add an 'install app' page on the website that makes it easy; given a link to a kubernetes JSON file - to install that app on any kubernetes environment

It could have a section on how to 'drag this icon to the fabric8 console' stuff - rather like how installers tend to work on a Mac dragging apps to the Applications folder.

Then maybe a section on how to apply it via the CLI

[OpenShift] [Kubernetes]

Or use this command line…

  oc process -f ${url} | oc create - f -

Maybe for GKE we could try mimmick the “Click to Deploy” UI stuff for GCE (there’s unfortunately no GKE equivalent AFAIK) that tries to automatically post the kubernetes to your google kubernetes REST API - maybe you have to type in the URL of the REST API and hit “Deploy” or something?

it might be nice to also show the details / docs / icons about the kubernetes json along with a summary of the RCs / services that are to be created and the docker images used?

[jstrachan]

rather like the Connect UI for jolokia in hawtio; we could keep a list of kubernetes REST APIs that the user has used; so when you try to "Click to Deploy" the json; you can pick which kubernetes / openshift environment you want to try it on etc.

Also we maybe need a page in the hawtio console that you can parameterise with a URL of the kubernetes JSON.

e.g. so folks could link to a URL like: http://fabric8.vagrant.f8/kubernetes/run?json=http://acme.com/foo.json

and it presented the same UI above. Then anyone can create a link to "Click to Deploy" inside a known fabric8 console easily - with very little effort
