Hyperkube

• Our current ndslabs-startup/kube-up relies on Hyperkube, which is basically Kubernetes in Docker. 
  • gcr.io/google_containers/hyperkube-amd64
• Hyperkube works fine on CoreOS boxes in OpenStack, but has proven problematic under Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows due to permissions problems.

It's not clear that Vagrant will support this configuration.
