As someone who self hosted bare metal Kubernetes on my own rack, it's a lot of work to get it set up. We used RedHat Openshift which has a pretty good solution out of the box, but the learning curve was relatively high.
That being said, once it was set up, there was not a lot of maintenance. Kubernetes is quire resilient when set up properly, and the cost savings were significant.
- bakies 10mo agoTry talos next time. It took minutes to setup. Red Hat docs and product names scare me since they are intentionally obtuse. I thought I wanted openshift but no way i'm paying and i couldn't figure out how to even get started. Talos was such a breeze.
- pat2man 10mo agoThe thing with OpenShift (https://github.com/okd-project/okd https://github.com/okd-project/okd) is you can set it up, and then run basically one command (oc new-app .) to push almost any app to Kubernetes. All bells and whistles included.
