Step Zero: Add a chapter on setting up a custom Kubernetes Cluster

[moschlar]

Would it be desirable to have an additional chapter for Step Zero about setting up a custom Kubernetes Cluster on "custom" infrastructure e.g. on premises? I successfully accomplished this using Rancher 2.x as a cluster management software. (I also experimented with an even more manual approach using kubeadm, but that was too tedious.)

I'd be happy to write down my experiences for others.

There's a related discussion on #593
Previously I've used kubespray on OpenStack, but recently tried Rancher 2.x and it looks like it might be easier.

Ah, sorry, I missed that.
So Rancher 2.x would be considered bare metal and fall into Grade C from @yuvipanda's grading system:

Having a documentation on how to do this would definitely be good and I agree on the "grade C" rating. Maybe create a repository with example config and docs and then link to it from the guide?

Been trying for a while to figure out how to get JupyterHub deployment on Rancher managed Kubernetes. Would really like to know what you did.

Yes, more details would be very useful.

I've added a remark that its wanted to have some notes about baremetal clusters in my issue triage report!
