A few years ago, I set up a $40 k8s "cluster" which consisted of a couple of nodes, at DigitalOcean, and I set it up using this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-auto...

I was able to create a new service and deploy it with a couple of simple, ~8-line ymls and the cluster takes care of setting up DNS on a subdomain of my main domain, wiring up Lets Encrypt, and deploying the container. Deploying the latest version of my built container image was one kubectl command. I loved it.
