The cloudfoundry-incubator/eirini project is where the CF+K8s scheduler work is going on.

Related to this, SUSE and IBM have already released distributions of CF that run on Kubernetes.

I'm biased (I work on one of these) but I really think this is the most expedient way to enable PaaS features on K8s.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say TCP over HTTP is an "elegant solution" but it works well enough in the absence of SSH.

The Stackato client supports this now as well.
