ITT: K8s is great because it frees us from the tyranny of Big Cloud providers.

Also ITT: Oh, but of course k8s is totally unusable unless you buy it from a Big Cloud provider.

Please don't put words in my mouth. I said it frees you from lock in by a single cloud provider which it does.

The K8s docs offer ways of running on-prems, you can do it with nginx ingress daemonset + DNS pointing to the IP (or CNAME) of your workers.

It's all covered quite well here: https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/baremetal/ and we use it in production.
