I have considered not running k8s. I didn't run it for a long time. I kept an eye on developments and waited for it to mature. However the amount of applications and services I am now needing to support and the HA requirements and need for standardization etc.... I don't know of a better option.
Manually install a single node Kubernetes cluster on Debian http://meta.libera.cc/2021/03/manually-install-single-node-kubernetes.html
Or run Salt or something and spin up LXC containers.
Sure.... and how do I manage IP addresses? Ports? HA? Containers (LXC/docker) is the easy part (on a relative basis anyway!) . It's the meta stuff around it that gets messy. The orchestration piece of the containers is the difficult part. As I mentioned, we already have a mature stack outside the app runtime layer (for certs/LDAP/database etc). We just want applications/services on k8s. Minimize the complexity/blast radius! :)
