I agree with you. Bare metal to me always implies, well, actual physical servers made out of metal :) A better title might have been "Kubernetes Without a Cloud" or "Kubernetes on-premise". Since what the author is trying to recreate is all the ancillary services that are there for the taking when you run in a cloud provider. Load balancing, storage, cert management, firewall rules, all fronted by easy to consume API's. Which are the actual hard part of setting up a functional k8s cluster.
