Having run K8s a bit on my own... Please don't run your own cluster. K8s is great and has a lot of wonderful features which help immensely with automation (ex: You tell it "I want to run 3 copies of this software and here's how to check it's health" and if it sees unhealthy containers or less than 3 copies running... it fixes the problem). However K8s is a bear to run in its own right. As a single-person company you don't have time for that. Use GKE or similar.

You are misinformed. MicroK8s and K3s can get a full-fledged Kubernetes setup running in less than a minute. I run a five-node cluster at home and it is a breeze. Edit: I forgot about HyperiotOS, which is another viable option. MicroK8s has Canonical’s backing so it has quickly become the most well-supported option. It advocates single-node clusters for development but it supports multi-node as well.
