> raw metal consideration devil's advocate but couldn't you technically (if you were trying to keep an entire software business's cost under say... $500/mo) run k8s (or k3s or whatever) in a production setting on a single node "raw metal"? i know that's frowned upon but, i feel like performance/dollar comparsion, moving it to the cloud + k8s gets wildly more expensive quickly?
