I am one of these guys who is using K8S at home. The reason is a unified platform for work and home environment.

What's the cheapest you can run a k8s cluster in the cloud? I've been looking to spin one up in AWS, but it looks remarkably expensive for running personal projects.

How do you expose your services via an ingress when it needs to be behind a nat (via your home router/gateway)? Thanks!

I run a very small GKE cluster with two 1vCPU preemptible nodes. Costs me a few bucks per month.

If we're talking managed, DigitalOcean maybe? (The master server part is free, you pay for compute etc of the nodes)

You could possibly do it cheaper on AWS with RI discounts, but you'd have to setup the cluster yourself to avoid the ~$140/mo fee.

Cheapest would probably be somewhere around 10$. Three VPS with 4GB ram somewhere.

Im running mine with three VPS and 8GB ram. Just for personal services and learning/fucking around purposes.

Consider just running Minikube on your laptop. It’s pretty realistic and won’t cost you a penny. Except maybe in electricity, it seems to consume an enormous wattage just to exist...
