It seems that everyone and everyone's mums have their own Kubernetes PaaS platform these days. It's such a competitive area.
That's actually quite surprising considering how complex the technology is.
- tyingq 10y ago>That's actually quite surprising considering how complex the technology is I tried installing Kubenetes on my own set of VPS instances to play around with it and learn, and initially failed. I'm sure I could have figured it out eventually, but installing k8s isn't simple. I found stackpoint.io, and was pretty impressed. Though they support other backends, like AWS, Google Cloud, and so on, they also support Digital Ocean. So, I was able to spin up a kube cluster with almost zero effort, and the low runtime cost of 3 DO VPS instances. I'm not sure I would use it for production, since it has dependencies on their infrastructure. But, for experimenting and learning, it was a huge help. It's also, at least for now, free. Disclaimer: No association with stackpoint, just a happy customer.
