There needs to be a digitalocean or heroku for containerization. Currently to start a k8s whatever you need to go through various manual rigamaroles and spend a lot of money, or go through the big lockin providers and spend a lot of money.

For those of us not backed by venture capital and not charging SV ex-googler rates to our clients, we need something to say "we'll host you on this git push containerization thing, it'll be cheap and easy, and we'll expand when the time comes, and that'll be cheap and easy too".

Check out https://hasura.io - you get git push based deployment on a kubernetes cluster.

We are working on https://www.KubeBox.com to provide simple Kubernetes clusters for an affordable price.

For $36/month (8GB Ram, 2vCPU) you get a single node if you just want to have the Kubernetes APIs. Maybe introducing smaller node plans later in the year.

Unfortunately, not much info on our website but please sign up if you are interested.

https://hyper.sh aimed to be a CaaS (Container as a service) and Joyent’s Triton as well. It’s an interesting premise, but from the outside both don't have much traction.

The Azure Container Instances seems like it's aiming to be a "heroku for containers" -- https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/container-instanc...
