That is true if you already have Kubernetes. If you don't, then you still need to run and configure the Kubernetes' control plane (e.g. kube-apiserver, etcd, scheduler, etc). Doing that alone may exceed the complexity of a simple setup.
I say this as someone who has looked at Kubernetes a lot and wanted to use it, but could never justify it. I have concluded multiple times that docker compose is a better fit for my use case.

True, but for many purposes you aren't gonna need it.

- cholindo 3y agok3s is a super easy way of deploying kubernetes in a linux machine.
- jadbox 3y agoI haven't used k3s, but I will check it out.
- vbezhenar 3y agokubeadm init is all you need to run and configure everything. It's installed via dep/rpm.
- gtirloni 3y agoI almost spilled my coffee, seriously. I hope you're not putting something like that in production.
- johaugum 3y agoStatements like these offer zero value, maybe you could qualify it with some reasoning?
- gtirloni 3y agokubeadm alone is maybe 40% of what a production Kubernetes platform is. Just running init and deploying your app is good for a toy project or really small scale cluster. Every time you hear yourself saying Kubernetes, "only", and "just" on the same sentence, please pause for a moment.
- vbezhenar 3y agoI'm running kubeadm-powered cluster in production for a year and couldn't be happier about it. Absolutely zero issues.
- gtirloni 3y agoThat's not the point. I too have managed kubeadm clusters mostly without issues. The tool is solid.
