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.

Good for them! They beat AWS to it. Amazon's managed Kubernetes service is in the preview stage but should also be launched soon.

How do people like Kubernetes as a production ready solution to deploy containers? I've been using Docker for a while now, just starting to mess with k8s.

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

It's free. Just pay for nodes.

Same as DO?

"DigitalOcean Kubernetes will be available through an early access program starting in June with general availability planned for later this year."

I'm not sure which will be first.

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

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.

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