EOF

kubectl create -f kube-system-ns.yaml 

List the all namespaces:

kubectl get namespaces

Spawn kube-ui Replication Controller:

curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/configs.kuar.io/kube-ui-rc.yaml

kubectl create -f kube-ui-rc.yaml

Create the kube-ui Service:

curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/configs.kuar.io/kube-ui-svc.yaml

kubectl create -f kube-ui-svc.yaml

Verify:

kubectl --namespace=kube-system get rc,services
