> Been wanting to move to it for a while but kube (which I know best) is quite large and the idea of ensuring really solid data backups often has me on edge a bit when not using something like AWS (I have a small server at home I'd use). One option would be opting for a more lightweight Kubernetes distro, such as K3s https://k3s.io/ https://k3s.io/ or k0s https://k0sproject.io/ https://k0sproject.io/ both of which have comparatively smaller resource requirements whilst still being certified and compliant. Personally, I'd also use something like Portainer, Rancher or Lens, but that's just because I like UIs alongside my CLIs that are nice to look at.
