As a manager i've heard in all my meetings about 'kubernetes', had a look at it and have always been questioning the cost to manage this.

What is the cheapest way to setup a production kubernetes on a cloud provider?

Digital ocean has a managed kubernetes service that does not cost anything except the resources you use. The master node and management is free, you only pay the node pools and stuff like block storages (their version of EBS) or load balancers.

I have used DO for managed Kubernetes since it was available and I am very happy with it.

At this point, most big cloud providers cost almost the same but in terms of maturity, google’s offering is still ahead. I have not tried out digital ocean’s hosted solution, but the might be the cheapest.
