I didn't fail, I just couldn't see a strong ROI after doing a spike.

I did use kubeadm. It required considerably more than just 3 simple steps required to get a basic working cluster up. Two days was more like it.

Managing kubernetes yourself is a headache and why I more or less only consider managed services like Google Kubernetes Engine for real use-cases. That's why the original article showing that you could install and run it on a set of 3 micro preemptible instances for ~5 month was so compelling to me.
how does kubeadm take two days. I had to rebuild my cluster recently and it literally took me 20 minutes.
I didn't use it last time. It was marketed as beta iirc
