The only option I can see as an alternative "minimal" cloud is one that runs Kubernetes on one of the "mid-tier" hosting platforms.
DigitalOcean, Linode, heck even OVH now have K8s offerings with ready-to-go (and free) control node/panel instances.
Of course K8s isn't shallow but at least when you master their way of doing things you're free to go and do whatever you want.
It's cheaper too.
- raesene9 6y agoOne small note of caution there is that using managed k8s solutions has some consequences for flexibility of what you can do. For one example, in most managed k8s setups, you can't change the admission controllers used on a cluster unless the cloud provider exposes this via an interface. Some cloud providers do more of this than others. So with a minimal k8s managed option you might get stuck if your cloud provider doesn't support an admission controller or other API server option you need.
