Using virtual private cloud infrastructure
If your use case falls under the bare-metal use cases, but you don't have the necessary skilled manpower or the inclination to deal with the infrastructure challenges of bare metal, you have the option of using a private cloud such as OpenStack (for example, with stackube). If you want to aim a little higher in the abstraction ladder, then Mirantis offers a cloud platform built on top of OpenStack and Kubernetes.
In this section, we considered the option of building a bare-metal cluster Kubernetes cluster. We looked into the use cases that require it and highlighted the challenges and difficulties.
Bootkube
Bootkube is very interesting too. It can launch self-hosted Kubernetes clusters. Self-hosted means that most of the cluster components run as regular pods and can be managed, monitored, and upgraded using the same tools and processes you use for your containerized applications. There are significant benefits to this approach, which simplifies the...
