I don't know if DO plans to provide a managed Kubernetes offering similar to GKE, but if they did I would use it. having a Load Balancer is necessary to integrate with k8s similarly to GCLB and aws, so this is a step in the right direction.

We've been using Kubernetes internally for quite some time and replacing a few of our older and more difficult to manage systems with it. We are looking into productionizing kubernetes so that our customers can also use kubernetes if they like and making that experience seamless. It's something that we are actively working on in 2017 but it's still too early to give much more guidance. But certainly if you wanted to go through the process of setting up your own kubernetes cluser on DO you could do so. =]

  I have some question about your loadbalancer and your plans about kube on DO: - Does your loadbalancer support HTTP/2 yet? - Can you share your scripts for setting up a HA kube cluster on DO? - Do you plan to provide a kubernetes cloud provider for DO? Having a DO cloud provider and standard scripts would probably help the adoption of kube on DO. Without a cloud provider I can't many benefits compared to traditional bare metal providers which are still cheaper.

    Our goal would be to provide a complete product solution so you would just be able to login and create a cluster. Unfortunately our current implementation that we are running behind the scenes wouldn't be directly portable to our end customers and we wouldn't want users to go through the hassle of running scripts to spin up their cluster. we are hosting a meetup tomorrow in our NYC HQ but we also stream remotely if you are interesting in hearing more from our of engineering managers and you can ask him questions directly =] https://www.meetup.com/DigitalOceanNYC/events/237418043/ https://www.meetup.com/DigitalOceanNYC/events/237418043/

  I don't know what your load balancer architecture is, but It's disappointing that using a load balancer has to cost $20/month, which is fine when you need it, but drastically increases your costs when you don't. It would be really nice to see someone offer a solution that can actually scale from a single node to multiple nodes as necessary. Being able to run my application on the load balancer inside a container would be pretty nice.

    Kontena (https://www.kontena.io https://www.kontena.io) has pretty nice integration to DO.

GCP also provides globally distributed load balancers which reduces the overhead to deploy is multiple regions.
