Kops is described as "kubectl for clusters" . Kops is a toolkit which brings you very opinionated way of managing clusters on supported cloud providers (including AWS and GCP).

Kops leverages cloud specific features of each cloud provider to brings you the best experience - for example in AWS it will create auto scaling and self healing EC2 autoscaling group to host your cluster nodes. Kubespray is also an official Kubernetes SIG Lifecycle project.
