Most megacorps use AWS. It's regrettable that your company can't, but that's pretty atypical. Using AWS Kubernetes is easy and simple. Not sure why you think this is just "as a dev" rather than operating in production — K8s is much more battle-hardened than someone's random shell scripts. Personally, I've run K8s clusters for a Very Large tech megacorp (not using managed clusters; we ran the clusters ourselves). It was honestly pretty easy, but we were very experienced infra engineers, and I wouldn't recommend doing it for startups or new projects. However, most startups and new projects will be running in the cloud, and you might as well use managed K8s: it's simple. | ||

Even then, it seems like you can run EKS yourself: https://github.com/aws/eks-anywhere "EKS Anywhere is free, open source software that you can download, install on your existing hardware, and run in your own data centers." (Never done it myself, no idea if it's a good option) | ||
