Sounds like DO is going to have the cheapest k8s service out there!

Too bad they didn't list the pricing, it would be nice to know how much it will cost, once released.

Hey KenCochrane, I’m the Product Manager on this product at DigitalOcean. VonGuard is right, you only pay for the worker nodes (based on our Droplet pricing, there’s no premium) and we take care of the master. Our standard pricing lives here: https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing

Will there be a minimum size for a worker node?

Super nice. Been running k8s on DO using Rancher, but a native solution will be really awesome. I'd like to see it as tightly integrated into e.g. GitLab like GKE is.

Rancher 2.0 was just announced today, 100% Kubernetes-based https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16976934

For some free lab time until the new commercial offerings arrive, try play with k8s: https://labs.play-with-k8s.com/

Pricing is key. Right now I spin up GCE based clusters as the head and version migration is free and I only pay for 2 non-preemptible adequate nodes. The rest scale and preempt somewhat cheaply as needed.

Could you please share the details of your setup ? I am not familiar with Google Cloud but being able to scale up cheaply with pre-emptible instances sounds great.

@Linode -- you guys seeing this ? Don't make me migrate away after 2 years.

Currently it’s our $5 droplet (1GB RAM, 1 vCPU), but if you have a use case for smaller nodes I’d love to hear about it!

Will be possible to run it in a single node scenario?

Yes, you’ll be able to spin up a single node cluster.

Awesome! The TechCrunch article [0] shows "16GB -> 192GB" in the screenshot so I just wanted to confirm.

For the curious: k8s is a specific kind of contraction -- a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeronym. Other examples include i18n = internationalization.
