This presentation was recorded at GOTO Copenhagen 2021. ,GOTOcon, GOTOcph Lasse Højgaard Cloud Architect Software Pilot at Trifork ORIGINAL TALK TITLE Lowering the Barriers to Entry for Kubernetes ABSTRACT The Kubernetes ecosystem is quickly becoming the de facto way to run applications. The toolbox is chockfull of tools that can be hard to let go off once youve tried them. Largescale Kubernetes deployments in the cloud or onpremises can be a daunting task to set up. Sometimes you cant justify the cost of a managed Kubernetes cluster because the project is still in its infancy What if you dont need a highlyavailable multinode cluster Should you go back to running Docker containers on a simple VM In this talk we will look at how singlenode Kubernetes clusters using K3s can be a way to lower the barrier of entry for Kubernetes, while still getting the benefits of GitOps, rolling deployments, and mature monitoring solutions. Well also discuss next steps if you outgrow your
