Website: Overall Improvements to the site using netlify

[jessfraz]

• [x] All pages need a unique title: right now a lot of the generated docs have no title (ex. kubectl pages)
• [x] Replace javascript redirects with something better or not at all: everything in https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.github.io/blob/master/js/redirects.js is a 302 redirect which throws a 404 then gets redirected and is pretty bad for SEO either we should replace them with 301 redirects via a web server or not have them at all, it also hurts page load time
• [x] SSL: we can get SSL pretty easily by hosting via netlify instead of github pages, it would not require any changes to jekyll etc, it would just be a flip on a DNS record and a setting inside the netlify UI (I am willing to help, I just dont have the right permissions but I have a lot of other sites I've set up doing this)

Replace javascript redirects with something better or not at all

Netlify can handle those redirects too out of the box, directly in our CDN :smile:
https://www.netlify.com/docs/redirects/

This is a rough translation of what's in that JS to a _redirects file:

# 301 redirects
/third_party/swagger-ui http://kubernetes.io/kubernetes/third_party/swagger-ui/
/resource-quota http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/resourcequota/
/horizontal-pod-autoscaler http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/horizontal-pod-autoscaling/
/docs/roadmap https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/milestones/
/api-ref https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/milestones/
/docs/user-guide/overview http://kubernetes.io/docs/whatisk8s/

The forwardning rules to the repo branch might be more involved, but still doable. That _redirects file can also be generated based on a template, it's always processed after Netlify builds the site.

Tagged this with P1 and Needs tech review. I think we should figure this out soon. Netlify seems to be the right way forward.

I'm targeting 2017Q3 to move k8s.io prod over to Netlify.

@chenopis happy to jump in a Hangout or meet somewhere else to make this happen.

[chenopis]

@calavera Awesome. Thanks for volunteering to jump in. Once k8s 1.7 is out the door, hopefully next week, I will setup some meetings to work on a plan for the cutover.

OMG, all three of these are done!
