a problem with these 'easy' kubernetes deployments, quickstart guides etc is that they have people churning out insecure and nowhere near production-grade clusters that are often using $cloud-provider managed k8s control plane and cloud-specific features & integrations for storage, load-balancing, databases, and more which prevent easy replication of the environment to another cloud provider, let alone a home/lab environment - and it's just as difficult to port a non-cloud k8s setup over to a cloud provider, no matter how many sidecars are tacked on. this problem extends even further down, because the cloud infrastructure substrate that k8s runs on needs to be configured too, and even when using a tool that supports multiple cloud providers, such as terraform, you end up with lots of cloud-specific code
